Why don't you study psychology? Studies show that poverty leads to depression far more often than wealth. This is a ridiculous statement and you are being an apologist spewing fake news. I can't believe I said fake news, but "often", why don't you link a study showing the wealth "often" leads to depression.
And incels, don't forget about the incels.
But the point about anecdotal evidence being a bad yardstick is accurate, TBH. It is not really a concrete example. It is a personal experience that he used to paint a broad brush interpretation.
Thats not at all what im saying, but if you think that getting money is the cure for depression, you're wrong.
as you said in your original statement, "the average person who's depressed" is just wrong. The average depressed person is not a known metric, but being IN that enviorment i garantee you that the amount of work done by depressed people are MUCH less then you imagine. taking one or two years off or even more if you're diagnosed with dystemia will often get you into a social security net because you literally CAN NOT get back on your feet.
im drawing my conclusions from years and years and years of therapy and being in an enviorment where we talk to SOOOO many depressed people.
So, you are a trained psychologist\psychiatrist\psychotherapist, any of those? Years and years of therapy make you a patient who has had years and years of therapy. Nothing more and nothing less. Not a trained psychotherapist. Even trained psychotherapists would never make a diagnosis based on a few lines of text over the internet. At this point, you are insulting people's intelligence with your personal projections. I have had therapy myself, which gives me some insight. I have no embarrassment for seeking such help or speaking about it. But I know full well there are a multitude of questions and personal information necessary for ANY competent diagnosis. Your anecdotal experience is exactly that, personal anecdotal experiences and nothing more. At least I put a qualifier in my earlier statement about my not believing him.
All the dude said is that money alone doesnt make for happiness. and hes right. Why continue like he personally attacked u. Plently happy poor ppl and rich ppl. Happiness is more a habit and perspective on life not material wealth per se.
She was also nominated for the Nobel peace prize.
He just claimed that his years of therapy and personal conversations make him an expert in depression. Not the strawman you just erected. It helps when you read the posts and no one attacked anyone. He just was called out for his BS diagnosis. And no, that is not at all what he said. Point out what I said in my post that was inaccurate, please. He said being wealthy "often" leads to depression. Or did you just miss that part?
first off, psycotherapist is not a protected title, so literally anyone can just say they are. I've been to 26 therapists and psycologists throughout the years, and from them you hear that you are not alone all the time through stories they tell you to help you understand that about people. That said, you are correct. I only assume he is depressed because alot of what he says hits me home. So you won this argument, argument over.
Listen, I couldn't care less about the fact the Dude told us he's mentally ill.
sure, he could also tell you he was scamming you and following your logic, you would not believe him. he could say the earth is round or that gravity exsists. but you've already made up your mind, and nothing can sway you to the other side again
you remind me of a person who acts before thinking, and also reminding me of a person who wants to be right no matter what. What you just said is facts that are proven, which is completely unrelated to the subject at hand. The general meaning of what trrapezio said was that Icstor keeps lying, and is known to be a man of deceit. As long as his statements can't be proven, nobody is going to believe him anymore. classic boy who cried wolf.
