  • In short: those are pretty much the two only solutions.

    Of course, there are different types of depression and they can all be cured in different ways. For some of them there’s no cure at the moment.

    Matter of fact I had seen a study that suggest a very high percentage of people are drug treatment resistant (meaning that there depression would not get better with any prescribed drugs).

    Therapist =/= drugs. First of all, a therapist cannot prescribe you anything. That’s the job of psychiatrists. Both a therapist and a psychiatrist may recommend drugs for depression if they deem it appropriate, but it’s by bo means the default or the go-to option (or at least it shouldn’t be). Sometimes depression is a natural response to events like death of loved ones and drugs do nothing to cure it.

    I had seen studies that say that training or even just daily walks can highly improve mood, but I had never heard that they fully cure depression.

    Both of those things are commonly recommended by regular people as well as therapists, because they’re known to be effective, and more importantly - they are completely free. For 99% of people, absolutely nothing is stopping them from doing a few pushups or walking to a park. The cost/benefit ratio here is insane. As for ‘fully curing depression’ - that would highly depend on the type of depression. Also, keep in mind depression is rarely cured with just one thing.

    To summarize: people recommend a therapist, because a therapist is usually the best option for any mental problems, though it may not be cheap. While exercising, or just walking and interacting with nature, are basically free and always help, but may not produce noticeable results.




  • We all see and hear what goes on over there.

    Do we? We only get a little bit of news from there, and I wouldn’t be sure how reliable it is.

    Why don’t any other countries step in to help those people.

    Help how? Go to war and slaughter most of their population? They are already heavily mobilized, and no doubt they’d conscript a lot more in case of a conflict. Not to mention they have nukes.

    Why do we just allow this to happen in modern civilization?

    Who is ‘we’? No offence, but this sounds like some oblivious American patriot asking why America hasn’t saved the world yet.

    Is just not lucrative to step in?

    Most countries don’t have their own nukes, so they will never even consider getting into a conflict with a country that does have them. Most countries don’t have even a fraction of the resources needed for any sort of operation.

    Plus, North Korea has powerful allies (like China) and is technically a member of the UN, so you can’t just disregard everything and conquer it.

    I think this is true. Billionaires and their corporations are obviously morally bankrupt and have been manipulating all of us for long years. But at the same time, it seems to me that there is also some ‘consent’ on our part. There’s a lot of people who will still choose to be oppressed, even after having everything explained to them and seemingly having understood.

    Perhaps thay’s how deep all the decades of social engineering go. Or maybe we just really like convenience, to the point where we’re willing to become slaves if it means our lives are convenient.
