A lot of what passes for depression these days is nothing more than a body saying that it needs work. -- Geoffrey Norman
Among all my patients in the second half of life (over 35), there has not been one whose problems in the last resort were not that of finding a religious outlook on life.

Dr Carl Jung, psychologist

There is a significant link between mental illnesses like depression, which are becoming so rampant in our society today, and the lack of living a virtuous and, dare I say, a righteous lifestyle. It is not a coincidence that the fall of our societal moral standards has resulted in a significant rise in the mental illnesses we are now seeing. There should be no shock in the fact that our morally ill society is now doubling the number of mind altering prescriptions given out, or that the strength of the drugs being prescribed, is doubling every few years. This pattern will continue until our society heals itself by regaining it's moral footings and returning to the kind of moral, religious based standards of only a few generations ago. Lee Crites
