Depression and the Role of Our Culture

I love this. It is so important that we see the wisdom inherent in our emotions. They have been finely honed over hundreds of thousands of years by our experiences. We need our emotions to tell us what's safe, what's OK, and what's not OK. If we're depressed or anxious, our emotions are sending us a message - something is not right. And in my experience, much of this is driven by a profoundly unhealthy culture where we are busy all day long with fewer and fewer close relationships to rely on for touch, sharing, or support. Just the recognition that "we are not crazy" can go a long way towards helping us recover.
