-Caveat Lector-
What bothers me ( I shan't say 'distresses' me, since agencies like WHO will construe
that to mean I am
suffering from a psychological disorder) is that no attempt is being made to
differentiate between clinical
depression -- which SHOULD be treated with meds -- and a natural reaction to one's
circumstances.
We now live in a world where any emotion deemed 'negative' is also deemed a
pschological condition that
warrants draconian intervention by the medical and pharmaceutical establishments.
This is aided and abetted
by the Boomers, who grew up expecting, and then demanding, instant gratification.
Unhappy that you are stuck in a dead-end job? Don't blame yourself for being too lazy
to extend the effort to
do what is necessary to change careers; rather, get yourself a bottle of DammitAll
yellow, for that 'golden
nothing-at-all' feeling...
Do your kids get on your nerves? Don't dismiss it as just a phase of growing up, and
under no circumstances
look internally to assess whether your own parenting skills leave much to be desired.
No, now parents can
assure that their little Janies and Johnnies don't act up or sass back, by making sure
that little Janie and
Johnnie are evaluated by the school medicos and duly prescribed any range of
medications to make little Janie
and Johnnie pliable and easy to control. After all, what authority figure wants to
admit that they themselves
may be making the children in their care 'depressed'?
And when your children and your childrens' peers start killing themselves, perhaps
taking a few companions
along with them, blame it on society, blame it on the music they listen to, blame it
on the video games they
play, blame it on everything and anything, except yourselves.
So let's start medicating into oblivion all those who are unhappy with the status quo
(remember how the
Soviets used to throw all dissidents into mental hospitals?)...it is easier to deem
someone who is 'depressed'
because they live amongst poverty and disease as suffering from a mental disease, and
remove the 'depression'
via drugs, than spend the time, effort, and money in removing the CAUSE of such
emotion...
So beware of articulating too stridently your unhappiness with the government and/or
the society it is bring
about, because soon that will be deemed 'proof' of your suffering a mental disease
(after all, you are
admitting being unhappy about something), and you will be forced to take meds to
remove the feeling of
unhappiness, or to be 'put away for the benefit of society'...
