I’m very anti-pharma myself (depression is not a chemical imbalance, and pills can’t solve it. Changing lifestyle factors can.) but if your statement were true they wouldn’t have made this vaccine in the first place.
A bit oversimplified but generally true for persistent bummed out. Not true for acute suicideation, which is real, a threat, and can be resolved with drugs or listening to the suicide call.
Are you saying there is proof that suicidal people have a chemical imbalance in the brain? I’m aware of instances of correlation between chemicals found in spinal taps and depression, but correlation does not equal causation and drug companies and doctors love to pretend it does in this case. I believe the the chemical imbalance is caused by the depression, no the other way around. I can’t prove that, but they can’t prove their claim either as far as i can tell.
I didn’t say that at all, and I was agreeing with you. “Chemical imbalance” is of course a misnomer. What I said was that in the case of acute crisis, drugs can help.

The shareholders of the pharma-industry will not be happy. You have to manage a disease, not heal it; that would be detrimental for the balance sheet.
And unhappy shareholders of big pharma is definitely not what we want; if they are happy, we will be happy.
Pharma employees are famously not people who themselves or whose loved ones can also be affected by cancer…
The reason your healthcare sucks in the us is the insurance industry mate…
Right, we certainly can’t have more than one factor.
Worst take on Lemmy in 2024, already calling it now.
could have been an attempt at irony
They’ll have to fight the shareholders of the health insurance industry, who don’t want to pay for a long-term condition

I did, and both going outside and choosing to not be depressed were important pieces to the puzzle that allowed me to move beyond depression.
