Link – Depression Is NOT Just A Mental Disorder, Review of 29 Studies Concludes

ByMikeM Reading Time: 1 minute

“3,961 people from 29 different studies were included in the analysis.

Depression is more than a mental disorder, it affects the body’s ability to detoxify itself.

It should be seen as a systematic disease that affects the whole body, argues a new study in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry.”

And yet, there are still far too many people who think it is “all in your head”. No, depression is a disease that causes the body itself to malfunction, and should be treated. Getting treatment for it should be no less embarrassing than taking an antibiotic.

No, it isn’t fair that we have to have books to teach children how to protect themselves, but it’s reality. I don’t want small children to have to learn about the possibility of being abused, but leaving them uneducated and more vulnerable is not an option.

Oh, the other thing I appreciate about this book? It is focused on the danger from people the child already knows. Our “stranger danger” approach to child abuse has been terribly lacking for decades. I’m glad to see someone taking that on.
