Thank you for this post. I've resisted antidepressants my whole life, with a family that wanted me to be fixed somehow. I only relented once and was put on Wellbutrin. I plunged into a depth of anger-sadness I'd never felt before. I dropped it almost immediately. But, you're diagnosing the problem well. Consumer-based society needs constant consumption for corporate growth. Talking about this and questioning this should be more frequent.

I shared on my Facebook as I agree that it is key for people to learn to ask these questions of themselves rather than just accept misery. I look forward to more of your articles!
