Brief Therapy for Depression
Most depressions can be cured or substantially alleviated yet we still pretend that they can't. Hand-wringing and attempts at sympathy don't help, enlightenment and common understanding will. Treatment guidelines are explicit, brief problem-solving talk-therapy is a proven treatment. We should be accepting and treating depression as the common ailment it is, not shrouding it in mystery and pretending that we don't know what to do about it.
