Can some people overcome severe depression without medication?

Diana @dya80dya (36625) 11 Feb 22

More and more people have depression. I wonder if people can overcome depression without medication. Sometimes medication has horrible side effects. Not everybody can tolerate it. Depression can cause suicidal thoughts. I wonder...

sclint Some cases of depression, and probably most of the severe ones, are biological. It has something to do with neurotransmitters gone haywire. It is not something that people who suffer from it can dispel by mere power of thought. Thus, medication. Or maybe...

Question: "What makes you cringe?"

Shavkat @Shavkat (139828) • Philippines 3 Feb 22

Personally, I always left cringing when seeing small black insects or bugs gathered together. I am sure some of you have a cringe feeling over something. It is normal to feel disgusted if not acceptable or uncomfortable about...

2 hour break and luckily there's a free hospital bed for me to lay in. They say this room is haunted a lot of my colleagues had seen or felt something. I haven't and I'm not fussed as long as they don't show themselves to me.

Do you think it's unlawful to prevent unvaxxed people from entering any establishment?

Jenaisle @Jenaisle (14078) • Philippines 1 Feb 22

sclint Gunshots are also frequent here. That's beside the fact that there's a firing range about a kilometer away. I get jolted by nearby gunshots and instantly worry about the kids who always wander about.
