Besides the actual illness itself, major depression robs you of all your self worth, self esteem, self confidence and your self image.
With the loss of any one of the above you are severely crippled. With the loss of every one of these, you are hopeless, helpless and defenseless. In short, you have entered the world of clinical major depression. The loss of self worth, self confidence, self esteem and self image is what sets clinical major depression apart from all other known illnesses.
First let me say people from all walks of life today receive counseling due to a loss of just their self confidence alone. Therapy cassette tapes are sold by the millions today on just this one important aspect of your life.
It goes without saying, with the loss of all four of these very important human conditions, you will need immediate and effective counseling. During my own five year illness I tried four different therapists over about a one year period. In my particular case I did not find a counselor who was able to help me recover from major depression.
To be blunt, entering my fifth year of major depression with no counseling or therapy whatsoever, I needed a miracle... period. I'm a student of Silva Mind Control - by Jose Silva. Before my illness I meditated on a daily basis. On a very few special occasions my meditations got so deep I saw the light, absolute oneness and total peace.
On medications and seriously ill, I found meditation next to impossible. In fact I never reached level (meditative state) again during those terrible five years and I eventually gave up trying.
I found the same thing true on prescribed benzopine medications, while I was taking Dr. Herbert Benson's Mind/Body Course in Boston, MA. I was too ill at this point and only learned of his course at an advanced stage of my illness, but even still I could see the merit and value of what he teaches you. Dr. Benson has helped countless, in fact thousands, of people recover naturally from stress, anxiety and panic attacks.
Any of the above may help correct and restore your brain balance (serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine) thus alleviating your depression, anxiety or both. You may even get 100% well again like I did.
However pills alone will never give you self esteem, self worth, self confidence and restore your all important self image. If you believe pills will do this, you are only fooling yourself and more important you are sabotaging and crippling your own recovery.
You don't have to experience clinical major depression to find yourself lacking in any one of those big four!
Lucinda received my Restores+ testimonial about four years ago. I've had the pleasure of talking with her husband on a few occasions. It goes without saying, Lucinda Bassett's triumph is well documented and today she is quite famous and still helping countless people. Just like the only one who seems to be getting older here! Is me?
I have a tremendous amount of respect for Dr. Priscilla Slagle and I personally feel she should be given a medal. Dr. Slagle is mentioned on my Restores+ testimonial at JCSMindWorks.
What words could possibly describe this remarkable man. His contribution to mankind is immeasurable. A personal message to Dr. Breggin's lovely wife Ginger. You're a doll too! ;-)
