Notice how there has to be something against which the "anti" prefix in "anti-depressant" to be opposed towards. My point is that there's no point in ...
Why don't the visits help? Depression usually takes a long time to treat and get better. I tend to always feel better despite taking so many medicatio...
What about 9/11? I have a strong feeling that people decided that the ruling elite should be left to their own after 9/11 and let lesser people concer...
Not explicitly. However, there is a negative implicit connotation with being depressed in society, especially in the workplace. Indeed, in the U.S whe...
The thing is the medical professionals don't entirely have an answer to that question themselves. I am often astonished at the power of the placebo ef...
Yes, I tend to agree with everything you've just said. Is this all an issue of the population or something more explicit like not having some incentiv...
But take for example the fact that SSRI's and placebos have about the same efficacy. Meaning, that there is a vague line between distinguishing clinic...
What's more, how can someone know what the truth is when fed all of this propaganda and manufactured consent throughout their lives? The only option i...
I think the real issue is that people, in general, don't even care about 'truth', however presented or formulated. Truth keeps on changing and evolvin...
It's interesting that society disapproves of depression, as something that must be 'treated'... In other countries, it's even shameful to admit that o...
I think, subconsciously I have been living a nihilistic life. Nihilism quite literally leaves no room for developing self-esteem, in anything, includi...
What other source is there? Are you talking about maladaptive beliefs? The point I want to emphasize is that thinking of depression as exclusively som...
That's interesting due to depression sometimes being called by its other name 'learned helplessness'. I have many desires, one of which is to be rich ...
Yea, I have no idea what self-esteem is after asking this question. It seems like one of those egotistical concepts that can never be fully actualized...
So, off the top of my head... What good this internal nagging voice do a person any good? "I'm bad at this." "I don't understand it, therefore XYZ." "...
So, what you're essentially saying that much like a Chinese finger trap, the harder you fight with this ever observant and infallible God from the Old...
What does one say to the all powerful internal critic, who more often than not abuses you and your confidence level to cope with tasks? Is it a result...
Yes, but I am talking about something that comes before work/working on one's self. Namely that there is a certain goal towards which one strives. The...
Interesting. The last book I finished and meditated over was Viktor Frankl's, Man's Search for Meaning. It was a nice book; but, very daft in terms of...
Sorry to arrive late to your post; but, I slept over what you said and have some questions that need answering. I am so self-important in that regard,...
Just as an interesting side note. One can see the torture that one goes through when confronting one's self with having/maintaining a high sense of se...
Understood, however, you seem to contradict yourself with asserting that there is such a thing as a 'true' sense of self-esteem. Where have I missed y...
Here's an interesting thought that occurred to me. If self-esteem is dependent on what others think of one's self, then why not just say fuck it and d...
I took the liberty of underlining all the "work" phrases you have included in your reply. How is it that work itself is something that will bring... h...
Ahh, a perverted form of the naturalistic fallacy as I understand it. However, this does not seem to be an exclusive thing that philosophers do... Tak...
There are no such things as an "objective view of their own existence." If one believes so then they will be inclined to start believing in their supe...
I'm interested in if anyone has heard of the term "ego boundaries". Ego boundaries in a person with high self-esteem are well defined along with a dee...
This is a quote from the text provided by tom, How does Deutsch know this? Surely, this is a strong assumption that would require some exhaustive tech...
But, the laws of physics are the same for all of us and we occupy the same space. So, hypothetically we are all experiencing the same history of the w...
I may be uneducated on the matter; but, why is this timeline where I'm asking these questions apparent to me and not any other? I'm not sure if I'm be...
Statistically not so! The reality that is real is the one most probable to occur according to the evolution of the wavefunction. The rest aren't as re...
I read a short part of that paper you linked. The author says: Both your conception of QM and the authors implies the Copanhagan Interpretation or the...
No. The world entails all the facts (logical relations) of objects within it. They are one and the same. Yes, there is just one thing, the world, whic...
Generally, yes. If something can not be proven to be true or false, then is it not undecidable and thus non-halting? That's just saying that a system ...
This is interesting and I don't dare to contest those findings by such brilliant minds. However, how does one explain that man can do what he wills bu...
