I just watched a video I got from the Library about depression. It was very good, and up to date. It's called "Fighting the Dragon", appropriately enough. Its by Sue Ridout. It talks about various treatments, some of them very new and experimental. It tells about the depressions of several people and the course of their treatment. Hearing other peoples problems with it help me feel not so isolated. It mentions that talk therapy has really been shown to change brain chemistry, which is very encouraging to me. You feel like you're not totally dependent on drugs. Not that I mind drugs of course. I just like to know that maybe I could help myself. Actually, I think it would be good to get some of the other people in our family to see that video. It might help them understand us better (me, you, and Mike).
