Maybe for some it would be as easy as changing a thought process. But as kecanoe stated, that is not my experience. I've been dealing with treatment resistant depression for years. Am I simply treatment resistant because I refuse to change my thought process? Because I've tried. I'm still trying. Yes changing your thoughts and creating new neural pathways is part of it, but it's not that simple. I'm sure if it was, then nobody would be depressed. Depression, just as any illness, mental or physical, is complex and there is no simple way to fix it. I think you need to see beyond your own personal beliefs and try to understand that majority of people who have been diagnosed as depressed cannot just change their thoughts and be cured. I don't know if you've had any experiences with depression, I would find it hard to believe you had because anyone who is dealing or has dealt with this would, I think, not view it has such a simple thing.
