noticed a consistent theme over the course of now hundreds upon hundreds of people.

I've had the rich reward and just honor of working with depression is very often a key challenge that I have helped people address and what I found over the course of these dozen years is that depression is actually one, something that's very different from the way most people assume it is.

Depression is, in my experience very often something that is essentially a kind of a message or has a function to it.

It's not a mistake. It's not an error. A veritable flood of clinical research indicating that indeed depression serves a very clear function.

It's a message from the unconscious mind to the conscious mind,

trying to get us to do certain tasks and when we understand this message very often

depression in fact goes into remission. It almost spontaneously goes away.

So first off just to give you some facts,

Brandon Hedaka wrote a massive paper called Depression as a Disease of Modernity,

and he showed that in the course of 10 years of the

the incidents of depression went up over 200% in the population in America.

Now, roughly 3.3% to over 7% have major depressive events in any given

year and what that means is immediately if you have any knowledge of genetics, that means it cannot be primarily a genetic issue.

Because there's no such a thing as a genetic issue that would

suddenly spite that much in such a short period of time. And in fact research by

Lohoff, W Lohoff in his paper on the genetics of depression concluded that despite all the money spent by pharma and universities and clinics to try to find a genetic pathogenesis, which means

a cause, that they failed. and that now the estimate is that probably 70% of the causes

of depression have nothing to do with genetics have nothing to do with genetics, have nothing to do with

two little serotonin, sonapically present or two little gabba or two, you know

interferences of dopamine.

Well those might play minor roles they do not

play a major role in depression.
