StanfordUniversity asked:
Stanford Professor Robert Sapolsky, posits that depression is the most damaging disease that you can experience. Right now it is the number four cause of disability in the US and it is becoming more common. Sapolsky states that depression is as real of a biological disease as is diabetes.

@4516232 Your last sentence seems to imply that you would cut off the funding of all disease researchers who enjoy their work. How do you feel about your own work—do you enjoy it? If so then why shouldn’t others? If not then you’re just crying sour grapes.

depression is not a disease..peoples lives get screwed up by the medical world poking their greedy nose into something which at its most basic level is a human condition…the fact that he mentions some diseases as great and exciting for research is disgraceful..

andy thompson has an article in scientific american (i think) where he looks at depression as an evolved response to social(mostly) dilemmas just like fever is an immune response to infection. He shows how the mind becomes more analytical and better at solving problems when depressed, also the way we cope ie becoming socially retracted and deriving little pleasure from life gives us more time to solve the problem at hand. He shows how rumination often resolves depression quicker than meds

This guy is brilliant. Not only is he brilliant, he takes it past the science in his understanding and it shows he cares as well.

Seems to be that depression is just a symptom of several different health problems caused by phisiological or psychologycal problems as well.

@sleepcity, again
re “First of all, the”
Yes, the symptoms of disease do in fact reflect one’s socially embedded purpose. Big pharma and their paid physicians and universities may not care to pursue the meaning of this fact, for myriad economic reasons, but you can and certainly may, i.e., if your goal is to understand behaviour to advance health and growth first and foremost.
Intentionally vague, no. Character limit imposed by YouTube, sadly, yes. : (

Sau gut! Endlich mal jemand der meiner Meinung ist.
