RE: How To Be Depressed: In Ten Steps
Instead, you must view your depression as something that is a problem with YOU. You should constantly individualize your experience and seek ways to 'fix' yourself or 'get better'. Do not consider the possibility that society needs to fix itself collectively.
Awesome post, I think this idea of a sick society is something that is not brought up enough.
It's like that saying: Fish don't know they're in water.
Thanks @v4vapid :)
Yes, that fish and water problem is an enduring one!
Someone who really opened my eyes to 'mental illness' as a symptom of society, not the individual, was R.D. Laing. I love his work.
