Possibly, but if Bookie's claim that depression is nothing other than chemical imbalances is to be believed then there are no unknown variables and the brain can be corrected by, effectively, a course of vitamins and tablets containing the required chemicals.

Which is clearly absurd.

SG

What is absurd is your lack of reading comprehension. Amusing, because you harped on to fadey about the same thing not so long ago. But hey, I'm sure it all makes sense in your limited mind.

You think I'm "so great"?

Good for you, at least you get some things right

SG

Hmm. I will admit that that sentence doesn't read as intended. Perhaps if I'd phrased it like this is it would have helped:

This is true. But I hate when arrogant people leave thinking that they're so great and that I think so too. So I always argue back...

Yet your inability to point out where I fail at RC is enlightening as to the strength of your argument.

Here's teh direct quote from you

If you wanna get technical, depression is a chemical imbalance in the brain. Nothing more or nothing less.

Argue that

You really are a special boy.

What did I say to you last time you quoted that at me? I'll give you a hint. It involved me telling you to read my entire post. Not just those two sentences.

That's two fails of reading comprehension. And after this post, when you try to argue that I think of psychiatry in such black and white terms, it will be three :)

The body's production of chemicals is not based on pure randomness...

I guess years of parents lying to their child about said child's awesomeness will have no affect on their chemical production at all, will it.

By continuing to argue this you will be siding with SG. Do you really want that? Really? I know that there is much much more to it than that, I was just pointing out the gaps in your argument by posing a similar argument style.

Yes

Really?

Still yes.

Siding with him doesn't bother me, if he's right. He rarely is, of course. But even I can recognise that he sometimes is.

I know that there is much much more to it than that, I was just pointing out the gaps in your argument by posing a similar argument style.

There are no gaps. My argument is universal, always and everywhere since the beginning of time til the end of time.

It's a simple argument. Most things in life really are very simple. People just overcomplicate them, and then declare themselves experts to validate their own existence.

So, here it is, one more time. If you lie to someone for years about how great they are, and one day they go out into the big wide world and they discover that common consensus is that they really aren't so great after all, depression will logically follow.

It's the disconnect with what they feel to be true, and the obvious irrefutable reality.

It really is as simple as that.

Of course, no psychiatrist will accept that, because then they'd be out of a job. They need to pretend it's more complicated to justify their existence. Same with Lawyers, and Accountants and all other professions.
