There are other ways to understand and interpret Depression. I myself have written on this subject here on several chapters (Chap. I, Chap. II, and Chap. III). This theme deserves access to as many people as possible in order to give it back new and better perspectives than the classical medical monolithic representation. The following videos are in English, in some cases, it is possible to add subtitles. I’m sorry for my french readers, but in some aspect, the Anglo-Saxons are still one subway ahead of us…

2) Interesting alternative ways of seeing Depression. Not everything is coming from the brain, but what is going on in the brain is certainly the reflection of what is going on in your life, in your family and in society… I’ll add that Depression is the reflection of what is going on in your mere existence.
