Medicating Human Needs

If you are depressed and anxious, you are not a machine with malfunctioning parts. You are a human being with unmet needs.
The only real way out of our epidemic of despair is for all of us, together, to begin to meet those human needs – for deep connection, to the things that really matter in life

This is a quote from an edited extract from Lost Connections: Uncovering the Real Causes of Depression – and the Unexpected Solutions by Johann Hari.
https://www.theguardian.com/society/2018/jan/07/is-everything-you-think-you-know-about-depression-wrong-johann-hari-lost-connections?CMP=share_btn_fb


The extract/book would be worth reading for those with an interest in something that seems to be pervasive throughout our society.

Medication is the go-to solution for many people/doctors - but does medication cure human needs?

That's nice to hear.. I suppose our winters would be like your spring though.. laugh

For us spring comes around Mar/Apr when temperatures are between 15 to 25 degrees more or less. Right now its approx between 5 to 18 degrees. grin

Well, my first ppring flowers have been out with 2 weeks, and the days are getting longer, so I don't go by the month, nor do the plants

Plants don't go by calendar month. Calendar months were probably based loosely around growing times of plants instead.
if it was a mild winter, they will come out earlier. If it were cold, they will wait.
Nature always knows best.
