In a way, we know that we should head to a psychologist whenever we’re in a situation that we feel gets the best of us emotionally, as well as take a bunch of pills every night before going to bed to fight depression and sleeplessness. Not so anymore! Researchers believe that depression might actually be good for us, in a way that it should be embraced and not heavily medicated to make it go away. They concluded that, by taking drugs to fight depression as if it were a physical disease means we’re actually refusing to get in touch with our negative side, thus losing the motivation to change our lives for the better.
Basically, being depressed can have extremely important consequences, such as learning from our mistakes and making us better appreciate what we want from life, as well as motivating us to do our best. By giving in to depression and grieving, they say, would mean people learned to deal with their emotions, at the same time reaching emotional maturity, a thing that becomes virtually impossible once medication is prescribed.
