There is, of course, the phenomenom of the "smiling depressive' Cods.
And people can develop such a negative view of the world (again , this needs to be fought), but they can see the world as SUCH a negative place that they feel those they love are better off escaping it as well.
Even although it is no longer an in vogue term, i prefer "nervous breakdown"
Anyone can have one.
if i put you in a steel box, gave you some chronic pain, played mariah carey at 120 db on a loop for 5 days, you would have a nervous breakdown.
by developing our minds , we would be 'harder to break" , just as someone in peak physical condition would survive extreme physical stress (say Stuart Diver).
so work on developing a great mind.
embrace stress. embrace challenge.
you are NOT your mind.
when your mind tells you to do something (eat maccas, play the pokies, have a smoke)
see it as a game, you verses your mind, and decide that you are going to win.
Do that every day (and every moment of every day) and you get momentum and this sort of breakdown will be far less likely to afflict you
I realise that... but this is becoming more and more these are young men... who have never been to war never done it really tough if you like....you cannot claim they didnt eat right or live right.so thats what sent them round the bend..
its more than that... as you say nervous breakdown thats what it was always called.. and people lived with it.. they didnt go out and MURDER THEIR FAMILIES...
these are fine young men....their children are all healthy born with everything in tact...look at the folks who have disabled children to take care of for the rest of their lives.........they dont do this.....and they have more excuse for being depressed.....than any of us....
cant you see this is more than that....
and as for training the brain... sure of course...do you think people will do that??????????....

Yes, always.
Depression, and being depressed are not the same thing
U. SAID...
depression is a mental disorder/illness.
I SAID its not always the same thing...
and neither it is...
some people worry themselves into anxiety.. they have a need to look on the bad side of life no matter what.......they always sound down always depressed...gloomy....
most people who know them say they are depressed.... but they are not....they are just negative about everything..
