[dTube] What really causes depression, and what can solve it?
Very interesting interview with Johann Hari, who spent quite a bit of time researching depression and anxiety, as well as it's causes, cures, and much more. I found the conversation fascinating even if I did agree with 100% of everything he said. Check it out and leave me your thoughts in a reply!

i wish a cow could fix my depression lol
Me too.. but I run out of steem ;-)
I'd milk it for all it's worth.
Important topic, thanks for sharing
Depression is actually being morally down.What you have said in the video i am agree with you most of the point.While you are depressed you cant do anything properly.upvoted
I only watched half of it for now - too tired to get through all of it, but so far, I really like it. Especially that biology might make you more susceptible to depression, but that it's ultmiately other factors that determine, whether or not one becomes depressive.
Nice post...thank you !
nice
if you can please share the result of the interview. what can tau useful for us all.
I agree with his perspective on depression, it's a very myopic approach to reduce depression to just chemical imbalances, obviously the environment is a key player in provoking said imbalances. But because that falls outside of the medical realm and because we live in a society that blindly pushes field specialization as opposed to a living systems approach, little is done and understood about depression.
It's really great that depression is being talked about so much lately. I do wish these people talking about depression would mention heavy metals. There are so many other contributing factors, but the fact that millions of people are walking around with mercury fillings in their mouths is a huge deal just screaming out for recognition. Johann talks about genes being a factor, which is true. Some people have genes that make it harder for them to detox heavy metals. From fillings, fish, vaccines & other environmental factors. The story about the land mine was nice, but another explanation would be, apart from the psychological damage from the trauma, he probably got a huge dose of heavy metals from the land mine. Heavy metals in the human body isn't natural, no matter what level. It's a huge cause of depression & other diseases & disorders. If you're a human, chances are you have heavy metal toxicity. I love the idea of joining a group & doing nice things with other people, that story was really nice! Metals are a very real cause of anxiety which inhibits us from experiencing these important life experiences. I guess this is just another contributing factor that needs to be added to the conversations.
You might be going overboard with the conspiracy theories there... I might be willing to believe some of them though... When I learned that amalgum was made of mercury my heart sank; I just don't buy that 'it's fine to put heavy metals in your fucking mouth' arguement. Really?? Insult to injury: they call them 'silver'. I thought they were real silver when I got mine, I would have NEVER said yes to mercury.
great video
