A WORD OF CAUTION FOR PEOPLE WITH SEVERE CLINICAL DEPRESSION
Most people who have severe clinical depression must take medication under the supervision of a physician.
Serious mood disorders clearly have an abnormal chemistry at work, and medication can favorably alter it so there is improvement.
People suffering from clinical depression and serious mental illness need medication to control their disease. But they also need to control what they put into their mind. They need to create a positive brain chemistry by putting positive things into their mind.
People who are suicidal and tapped in deep depression will not be cured with positive thinking or positive self-talk. Positive thinking may help these individuals, but it will not cure them.
On the other hand, anxious and negative thoughts don't always require medication. For most people, these types of thoughts are the result of living a toxic lifestyle that slowly takes its toll on their mind.
When they stop living in a self-destructive manner, their pattern of thinking returns to normal.
In the absence of serious psychiatric illness, they can probably get along fine without medications. In all situations, they should consult with a physician to make sure they are doing the right thing.
