what is the job of doctors....doctors basically get paid for prescribing medicines for depression.....if they got paid for preventing depression that is what they would try to do.
but most people want fast action....that is what I wanted...I didn't even want to face what is causing my depression...just give me an anti-depressant and make it go away...
unfortunately life may not be that easy...I wish it was easier...when I was a medical student I wanted to cure people not treat their symptoms...but that is not what you meet in the real world....my patients called me doctor rugrat...at least I would talk with them about reality...and then I left because the clinics wanted me to see every person for 15 minutes...I wouldn't do that...so I had to retire...I didn't want to...I knew something about prevention and other ways of treating depression...this is my story...from a retired depressed very old doctor who still wants to help out in this awful world..
