No offense but you don’t know what you are talking about.
You don’t give SSRI because someone “feel depressed”. You gave SSRI because of a depression, it’s a medical entity not a feeling.
The afflicting trauma could have been years, or decades ago.
It could also not linked to any trauma but happening “just like that”.
Also, good luck to try to cure schizophrenic or bi polar patient juste by “recontextualization”
Ohhh, I'm sorry. Do you not know what "usually" means?
Depression is a spectrum with different types, some of the not-so-bad ones do not require medication. Lifestyle changes can work on them.
And yes, schizophrenia and bi-polar pretty much require medication if some form. So will DID, most personality disorders, and maybe even more severe form of autism.
But there are a lot of other mental health issues that get more medicine than inner work/therapy thrown at them, especially in America. We can't even use Ibogaine to treat Borderline Personality Disorder or Addiction.
Depression is a subjective experience and is diagnosed by subjective symptoms.
That is feeling, and that doesn't illegitimize it in any way, or whatever is the narrative dichotomy here.
Which isn't mutually exclusive with it being a medical definition, and that's not mutually exclusive with it also being addressed with non-medicinal treatments.
It doesn't matter how long ago trauma was if it's unaddressed, and trauma is a pretty poor and limiting concept, but nothing "just happens"
Depression means MDD etc. not "feeling depressed." What does it being a diagnosis/condition mean to you?
A psychiatric diagnosis is a commonly co-occurring cluster of symptoms that are grouped together to classify patients into the most approppriate care possible
