Treatment of depression - depression quotes
Depression quotes:
To distinguish deep depression from usual bad mood it is uneasy, and to treat it happens even more difficultly. The principal cause of it consists not in complexity of treatment, and in the attitude accepted at us to this disease.
In America depression officially is considered heavy disease, huge means and army of doctors-psychotherapists are allocated for its treatment and preventive maintenance. And in Russia this disease never was considered heavy. When there are complaints to a headache and a cold it is considered is admissible, and complaints to a dejectedness are considered, as inexcusable weakness of character.
This attitude is not influenced even with statistics of the suicides accomplished under influence of depression. Moreover, these suicides are perceived by many as inexcusable nonsense and weakness.

From ~85 % which have addressed to doctors of patients - successfully recover, and at the others substantial improvement of a condition is observed.
