There comes a point, though, when you are left with a choice to either pursue treatment/ change your lifestyle or choose to ignore what's been given to you. You can hardly argue and say "what about those who don't know what to do" because we are bombarded with information about depression, its causes and treatment on a daily basis. If you've had access to a television or the internet within the last 10 years, you've seen countless ads targeted at depression sufferers. This is where I have a huge problem. This is making a conscious decision to ignore treatment. Nobody is going to shove pills down your throat, make you nutritious meals or drive you to the doctor. You need to pull yourself out of your pity party for a few minutes and do something for yourself.
