Depression in the economy and in people

Posted by Arthur Gibson on October 1, 2002, at 3:58:05

My discussion on why ADs don't work in some people is progressing to the top of the board and will soon be archived. So I am starting it up again here. I have found a useful quote at: http://www.financialsense.com/metals/sinclair/editorials/092602.htm

The article is about the economy, but it neatly sumarises what I think about depression therapy and drug treatment.

"A downward spiral in markets is not much different from a downward spiral in the human experience. In that sense, a downward spiral, such as depression, requires intervention in order to reverse it. Psychotropic drugs, as an intervention, are often prescribed in order to provide an intervened window that can prevent the depression down spiral from going to its predictable end. Should the patient grasp that opportunity provided by the intervention, taking a more positive look at their circumstance, real progress may occur in their lives."

That is what I am saying. Drugs alone are not enough. We need to grasp the window of oportunity that the drugs offer, or we will waste the effect.
