Psychiatry has the science, but we struggle with our art鈥f messaging

We continue to confuse the lay world about “Depression.”

Are we referring to :

馃敼Depression 鈥he normal sadness?
馃敼Depression ..bout /Episode

An Episode is only part of an illness

Bipolar Depression is one of the illnesses associated with a Depressive bout/ Episode

Major Depressive Disorder is the other illness associated with a Depressive Episode

We treat illnesses, not Episodes

馃敶Let’s be clear: We cannot treat accurately until we figure what Depressive illness the bout/ Episode is associated with.

Too many people are still being treated for the wrong ” Depression” illness.

Let’s educate the lay world so they know that there can be two sides to “Depression.’

Treating the wrong one can be catastrophic to one’s quality of life.

Ask your doc, ” Which DEPRESSION ARE YOU TREATING ME FOR & WHY?

Your life may depend on it: It’s your life.
