I do not endorse these views, but it is interesting to ponder:
-
Depression is not a disease or disorder but rather an evolutionary adaptation to serve a purpose
-
Depression is more common than what is now recognized as the “normal” type.
-
Antidepressants drive neurotransmitter levels so high that homeostatic regulation kicks in
-
Antidepressants may suppress symptoms in a way that increases the risk of relapse
-
Psychotherapy works by making maturity effective and “de-centering” self-criticism
-
Adding antidepressants may interfere with any lasting effect that psychotherapy may have
These appear in a new paper by Steven D. Hollon.
