How about cutting out the cutesy hints and evasive barbs and actually stating what you believe is the salient wrong. You add about zero information here.

I don't have the answers, just questions.

I didn't say that all depressions were the same. I made a statement that various mental conditions were viewed for centuries as sinful failures of character or demonic possession.

Do you disagree with that statement?

Do you believe that everyone is capable of overcoming their mental disorders? Even epileptics?

Do you believe that only sinners are the ones that fail to overcome their mental problems and deserve their fate?

Do you believe that everything is right with a world that includes many people that seem unable to deal with their mental conditions?

Certainly people are over-medicating themselves. Certainly there is the possibility that some mental conditions are the result of toxins in the environment, prenatal poisoning from mothers who smoked/drank/took drugs, etc.

But there seem to be many cases where otherwise good and normal people behave in horrible ways until they start taking the appropriate medication.

What do you make of all this? Do you just sing "Onward Christian Soldier" in a louder voice?
