>I also hope that people retain the impression that not all mental illnesses are of biological origin, nor even perpetuated by systemic dysregulation. I hope the impression resides in each of us that for many people, the biological and the psychological are inextricably linked dynamically, and that the best chance for someone with a biological depression to remain biologically well is to address adequately the psychological that is not. Continued psychosocial stress, whether coming from an internal milieu of depressive or other maladaptive psychology, or an external milieu of depressive or other dysfunctional influences, must be addressed to reduce the risk of medication breakthrough and relapse.
I wish I could have expressed myself nearly as well as you by writing this statement, you know my history Scott- and I fervently agree with this statement. I, too, was hurt by the insinuation of Eric that the years I have spent in research along with many of my peers was a joke? Maybe I got lost somewhere along this thread, I know my cognitive abilities are down, but at no point did I get that impression from your posts. Just my thoughts for what it's worth. Take care- judy
