hahahahaha Happiness is not determined by brain chemistry? Happiness is brain chemistry.

Brain chemistry and inner workings can be changed to a big degree. What you are telling yourself, by forcing yourself to think in a certain way, changes the brain chemistry. It is mental training. It is how people get indoctrinated into stuff, influenced to do things they would have never done on their own, often just through words. Your way of thinking, feeling and experiencing life can be shaped.

If we are talking strictly organic disease then yeah there is less you can do. I mean a stroke or something. Turncoat has issues with motivation and finding happiness though, and I do know these can be changed or at least influenced.

I don't think anyone pretended hallucinations and psychosis could be cured through mental conditioning, but I also doubt they are as bad as Turncoat makes them appear. He seems pretty functional to me. Severe illness leaks through, see MrOmega's posts. You could tell that guy had real mental problems.

Feelings are Not FACTS

 

...he posts enough ....that the amt of time spent on studying the internals of his thought processes can be spent similarly on calculations for the dose and sourcing the vitamin....max time = 5 min, 

No excuses...lol...

But the existence of feelings are a fact.

I do not like some aspects of smart depressed people. I do not know how to approach them.
Even if there is a solution to their problem, they wont feel good about it. So the solution is worthless.
Smart ones usually have tried solutions and they didn't work. Which makes them more apathetic to the future solutions, which in term would make them less likely to work as solutions.

So the solution is not fact based, you need to make them feel good first. Which is difficult for me.

Its about feelings, the entire concept of depression is about feelings.

Even smart people are often blind when it comes to themselves. There are different kinds of smarts anyway. One can have excellent analytical skills by being detail-oriented for example, but suck when it comes to taking a few steps back and seeing the larger picture.

Complacency and convincing themselves there is nothing they can do is part of the problem. Those who feel trapped in a world this big with endless possibilities are definitely overlooking something.

you forgot to take into account the fact that those people may also have ocd type percieving skills and try to logically deduce every possibility they percieve,ergo your attempts to look like the one with common sense and the only person with sanity in this thread have been failing miserably :D

Thank you. In your own sort of ignorant way this is actually quite unintentionally flattering, especially after your comments of the opposite in our mock-scuffles. 

If I were typing on here around... eight years ago or so you would have seen me saying some weirder more off the wall crazy shit, and if I let myself type the more inner-stuff these days when acting out... I'd probably not be taken even remotely seriously here anymore at all. As I'd mentioned earlier, I have no problems talking about this stuff, but the last thing I'd want to do is show it. Even if a part of me wanted to just for the sake of it, too much of me won't let me.

Wow. You actually think the opinions you've formed based solely on impression, emotion, and personal experience, hold more credibility than science. You're worse than Spatial.

By the way, nice 180 on Turncoat's mental health. He's a crazy mess when it's convenient for you. He's perfectly stable when it's convenient for you. The imaginary world you live in must be a great comfort to you.
