By the way, Im not sharing this as a sort of fairly unsubtle cry for help or anything (even though it wouldnt of course matter if I was). No, although Id obviously included myself among those millions who its relevant to in a ---usually--- less immediate and intense sense, i.e, practically every single human who has even lived has felt the blues to some degree at somepoint, of course, my reasons for sharing it are wholly down something else. Namely, down to how, after noticing it earlier today in the paper, it seemed like a refreshingly reasonable article by the standards of the mainstream media regarding the subject, replete, for example, with credible -seeming scientific research and references. And, just seconds after having read the headline and byline, I immediately recognized there to be some truth in the analogy to depression being akin to a kind of allergy, vis-a-vis my own recollections of some reasonably representative blue moments from over the years in myself, or people I know, or have read about (and, in all cases here, I mean this whether or not they were isolated or part of a more prolonged psychological trough).. At any rate, one of the many terrible symptoms of global capitalism is the multifaceted ways it effects the mental health of millions. Im convinced that once we have achieved a communist society, that mental health problems will have decreased dramatically. Although it would be wishful thinking to conceive that in such a society utter eradication will be possible. Of course it wont. But, despite this, the sheer resources, societal context and life-long universal developmental opportunities for every human being from birth till a healthy old old-age that will be available in abundance in the coming communist society will ensure that those who ever have problems of this type will perpetually have a variety of opportunities to make personal progress in this regard. Which, in my view, they will most likely usually be able to take, as well. (and, lastly, if they ever were unable to make progress despite the good resources (etc) available to them then they shouldnt feel guilty, and should be encouraged by others not to, as well, I think..) At any rate, interesting article, this. Yes, in my view, allergy could quite possibly be a word that deserves to be far more frequently twinned with depression, in both thought, and spoken and written dialogue, What do people think?
