> Why is bipolar neurological but not major depression? Ive got major depression...very severe and I KNOW its neurological.
I never said your depression wasn't neurological.
> You seem to have been influenced too much by some psychology people. Your beliefs mirror those of Dr. David Burns, author of the CBT book "Feeling Good."I don't like Burns that much. His techniques haven't helped me. Although I do think his point of view is worth considering, which I believe about those who think the opposite of him, too.
> All severe mental illness is neurological, to include the anxiety disorders. OCD is very neurological.
Yes, as I said before I agree with this. Even not so severe mental illness is neurological in that it affects the nervous system.
> 5HTP wouldnt even begin to touch my depression.
Different people respond differently to different substances.
And you may be much more depressed than I was. Neither of us can know that because we don't know each other and haven't spoken with each other's doctors. Not everyone experiences major depression in the same way. The diagnosis is based on a set of criteria and if you meet them, you have it. You also simply may be judging someone's experience without knowing what they went through, how they felt, and how it affected their ability to function.
