I have always wondered what was it with the phenomena of talking and sharring with others, that helped people deal with or even recover form there depression. I have come to teh cpnclusion that its understanding.

Encouraging words mean nothing if they do not carry understanding and meaning behind them. If there is no understanding, then it comes as an empty prayer.

I think thats why depression is so isolating...its terribly hard to find someone who can truly understand the plight for an individual.

Just thought I would throw my two cents
