    If you are suffering from clinical depression and try to change your thought patterns in some consistent way, you’re probably going to fail. That’s why there are things like therapy and medication to help depressed people. Most people can’t self-help their way out of actual depression.

    Remember, depression is different from unhappiness.

        If you’ve been in so much therapy and work in mental health, why are you suggesting people try to solve this problem on their own?
