> Depression is self obsession.
What makes you say this? Do you speak from experience? Or is this part of a theory that's been written about in the scientific literature? If this theory is scientific, I am not familiar with it. Could you please cite an article from the literature discussing this theory of self obsession? I'd be interested in learning more about it.
> go help someone else and you might just stop obssessing about yourself so much!
It seems to me that helping others is what this meds board is all about. It's been helpful to me, and I'd like to hope that some of my posts have been helpful to others.
> You will never find the perfect drug,deal with it!
I don't think that any of us seeking drug therapy for depression are looking for perfection. I can't speak for others, but when my depression is at its most severe, all I'm looking for is the ability to lead some semblance of a normal life - to be able to feel alive and to be able to enjoy all of the things that I know I should be enjoying but cannot due to my condition.
