More Than A Chemical Imbalance – Why Depression Cannot Be Cured By Medication Alone
By Steve Taylor Ph.D
Guest Writer for Wake Up World
A few months ago a friend asked me for some advice about his father, who was suffering from depression. After finding out that his father spent most of his time indoors, watching television, I told my friend about ecotherapy, which investigates the therapeutic effects of contact with nature. As I informed my friend, there is a great deal of research showing that regular contact with nature — such as a daily walk in the park or countryside — can have a very beneficial effect on well-being. The research suggests that this can be just as effective against depression as medication or other forms of psychotherapy. So I asked my friend to encourage his father to get out of his house and go for a walk in his local park every day — or better still, go for walks in the countryside.
A couple of weeks later, my friend got back into contact to say that he had told his father’s doctor about my advice. The doctor had gotten angry and told my friend, “Your father has an illness! Would you tell a cancer patient to go for a walk in the countryside? Would that help their condition? Depression is an illness that has to be treated medically.”

As a landlord I have come across so many depressed people… This issue of depression is mind boggling. Must admit I am very impatient with the ATTITUDE associated with depression. From my perspective it IS ATTITUDE playing on the mind…a kind of self indoctrination… plus an inferiority complex… insecurity syndrome…poor me, pity party. Ridiculous…. for EVERYONE has been given/BLESSED with talents and something special about themselves. Why can’t they see their glass half full instead of half empty?????????????????????????????????
What I tell these people is:
If you keep your eyes on YOURSELF you will be DEPRESSED.
If you keep your eyes on OTHERS you will be OPPRESSED.
If you keep your eyes on GOD you will be BLESSED.
Could not be any more simple than that. Hollywood is a den of depression due to the focus of SELF… no matter how rich… or how many toys… or facelifts…. or awards. Hollywood serves as an example of how NOT to be. TV tricks peoples minds if they are emotionally weak. Everyone is subjected to negative daily but it is that ATTITUDE which seeds the demon of depression.
