> I'm reading his book "Against Depression" which seems to deal a lot with the long term irreversible damage done to the brain from depression. It's really upsetting me, as I retain hope that my cognitive fogginess will one day disappear.

> Is he overstating the case?I know of him but i choose not to read neiter book book the one pro prozac,and con,ir any of those books,but what your saying grabbed my attention.
I have and still do work out very hard,since age 16,i got sick at age 19,i still work out,if im laying in bed ill actualy get out in increments and work out a little,although its a minor rush,its far from any real relieaf.Although id imagine if i werent in good pyhsical shape i doubt i could have taken the stress ive put on my body and the stress the depression puts one me,i owe a lot to my psyhicaly stentgh im sure,more than i prob give credit.
That aside,do you have any type of qoute,or close to,are you saying he is telling us the damage done from depression is ireversable,and thats it ,period?
This is quite a terrifying idea,since you i assume read the book,can you clarify if hes giving any alternatives to healing,or simply and clearly saying the damage is permaneant,regardless of no drugs,excersise,etc.I feel pretty upset hearing a professional think this,scared acutualy.
