I read Arthur Gibson's posts and the first thing that comes to mind is "this guy doesnt have a clue." The guy is a total idiot. He has a lot of gaul coming on here and trivializing and badmouthing people with severe depression. Like going to a psychologist and working on "issues" is going to resolve severe sleep cycles or fix severe depression induced cognition problems. Fat chance of that. You need DRUGS for that. Or ECT.
I have one thing to say to you Arthur. We dont need your kind. Go away. You are the sort who perpetrates these myths about mental illness being a so called "psychological" problem when its really a Neurological (brain) problem. Take a hike...please.
Its obvious that Arthur doesnt like taking meds deep down inside in his "subconscious" to use Freud words. He deeply resents taking meds, always has and always will. He will never come to terms completely with taking Prozac or whatever else drug he is on. So to compensate, he will come up with these psychological defense mechanisms, such as this claim that unless you go to a therapist and work on psychological issues you will never get better. That is so much BS.
Therapy is mostly for people with mild to moderate problems. It really has little to nothing to do with severe mental illness. Let Arthur go to his therapist, pay them $100 an hour to listen to him and come up with some psychobabble retort about the underlying cause of his "severe depression" which Im very skeptical Arthur ever had a severe depression to begin with. People with severe depression are usually desperate souls, desperate for anything to relieve their struggles and usually they dont have any problems with meds if their depression is severe enough.
So I say to Arthur, all I have to do is read your back posts, ones that say to the effect "meds create more problems than they fix" and I can see right thru you. Please take a hike dude and dont come back and trivialize the serious problems of some of those here with severe biological depressions.
