I agree completely with WUD. What kind of shallow, pampered little bitch is this?

And her comments stung, I had a friend with depression who took a lot of pills and threw herself off the motorway.

Dr. Peter Kramer, in his brilliant book Against Depression, gives two carefully controlled studies as examples of a growing body of research that indicates what we did not know before, and what many people still refuse to believe: depression is an organic disease that literally damages the brain. (And right now I can’t think of a single mental illness I’ve ever studied that DIDN’T have physical effects you could see under a microscope, in an MRI, or with the aid of any other medical diagnostic equipment.) Brain damage, depending on what’s affected and how, can be irreversible. Any brain disease/mental illness has the potential to be fatal if it’s not treated, and doctors, pathologists, and therapists agree that depression in particular is dangerous in this regard. Patients who are told to “get over” depression for too long will not survive it. Personal experience (and not just me, either, but many people I’ve known) drove me to study depression extensively, and it’s @#%^&$*)s like her who make my job harder and do the reverse of educating the public. (Is that “de-educating?” Can’t think of a good word for that.)

HeatherRadish – I totally agree with you – you took the words right out of my mouth. Depressed people were hidden in the old days. I am certain she has truly NO IDEA whether or not her grandparents were OK (not that she cared), just that they seemed OK to her. The Great Depression/WWII era people were taught not to talk about their troubles because others had it just as bad or worse and everyone had to work hard to survive. If you were depressed, you were considered lazy, selfish & self-centered. Unfortunately, these ideas are still held by most people because that is what they are taught by example. This is why there is still shame & stigma attached to mental illness, but to especially depression because it seems so simple to just say “don’t be sad”. It is harder to tell someone not to be psychotic.

Hmmmm, well she sounds like a complete moron. Shame on John Phillips for raising such a disrespectful, hateful child. My friend killed himself because he couldn’t “just get over” being raped from the time he was four to the time he was six. Maybe if she had lived his life she would have more sympathy for those going through things she doesn’t have the empathy to understand!

Although it’s probably quite true that people in the olden days probably were more likely to get along just fine without drugs

Not really. Depressed people in the “olden days” drank and slept too much and killed themselves (and other people), just like untreated depressed people do today. The only real difference is that no one talked about it publicly. My mother didn’t learn she had an uncle who had bouts of depression and who shot his wife and himself until after her mother died and the last surviving sibling told her; my grandmother spent 50 years hiding him out of shame. She did know about the grandmother who would take to her bed for days on end…

I’d never heard of this Bijou bitch before today, but if she wasn’t jumping on Oprah’s couch while castigating people for seeking medical treatment, I’m not interested. Heh!

“Shut up Bijou and take off your clothes”……something she hears a lot I am sure.
