[QUOTE="Big Ewis, post: 659219, member: 57076"] well there's tons to be said here, but this probably isn't the place for it. Of course depression is old as man himself, but I'm obviously pointing my finger at the *new reasons* for depression, this new urban culture or urban biotope we've artificially built around us. You tell me about bipolar syndrome, something ultra-debilitating and degenerative. My uncle has it, he's a nut. I'm clearly just talking about your common bloke, the regular Joe who's at the bar with his regular friends after a regular day of work sayin' "hey guys, I think I'm depressed". That's what this thread is about, unless I've missed it, we're not talking about considerably unbalanced people here. I'm leaving out full-on INSANITY like my uncle who clearly NEEDS urgent medical assistance (but won't get it, because he partially denies having it...). And no you're wrong about CFS. It's not that poorer country ppl have it and just die from it and we live to talk about it because we can contain it. It was originally called the Yuppy flu, for a damn good reason. Poor countries *don't have* CFS. It's just us rich folks. White people mostly, in a crushing majority. And yes, it almost always comes with digestive issues. About "manning up". Said all I needed to, won't talk more. Take it or leave it - with respect I say this. [/QUOTE]
