clinical depression is NOT depression...


which is why i tend to use the term cd

cd = mood disorder
like
pd = movement disorder

its diagnosis is usually quite straightforward
if the individual can answer questions about feelings honestly

of all long term 'disabilities' and chronic conditions and diseases
pd has the highest rate of cd

so there may be a functional neurological link

if someone who does not have the brain chemical imbalance of pd
takes anti-pd meds
they do nothing

if someone who does not have the brain chemical imbalance of cd
takes anti-cd meds
they do nothing

why are meds associated with shame weakness

is a diabetic weak for requiring insulin to live?

am i weak for requiring oxygen to live?
