Depression is Not a Chemical Imbalance

I had this friend with depression.

He wanted meds. I wanted him to drink massive mounts of orange juice.

This is how he fixed himself: He got out of his toxic relationship. Bought a bicycle.

Depression is not a chemical imbalance. Nor is it a problem with your brain.

Here’s the real treatment for depression:

Birthday cake, kittens, laughing with friends, watching old movies with family, feeling safe, prayer, good food, hard work, better sleep, fun time with spouse, singing, drawing a picture, coffee with sugar, helping someone in trouble, watching the sunrise, lifting weights, orange juice, rolling/running/walking, living with a purpose, going to an Orthodox church.

Depression will take you out of your body and into your mind.

Stay in the body.
