You may be on to something but I'm willing to challenge your prospective on a healthy level. Yes, those who are severely depressed may not become happy after hearing "speeches, inspiring stories, and YouTube clips" but eventually, you go on to help yourself somehow, someway like being on this forum, going to your pdoc, tdoc, and going to cognitive behavioral therapy. I may not be able to relate to you with your struggles but I'm willing to bet that you want to live to see another and be happy. Don't we all want to be happy with life? I do. Don't you? I'm not a victim of my circumstances; I'm a fighter...so are you! =D

Now, we can agree to disagree and that is fine. I enjoy talking and helping people.
