@AshSama86 ,
Indeed you are right. People do need to know there's a way out. Joe's boy Ari actually explained his experience w depression in one of the most descriptive, yet simple ways I've ever heard. And I loved the fact that he called Joe out on his constant recommendation to simple get up and exercise. He's a real dummy when it comes to the topic of mental illness, but in defense, he's become better at understanding it.
Ari suffered from suicidal ideation for quite some time and it started in a period in his life where he was finding great success in his life. After rigorous attempts and failures to regain his health, finally he got his life back and scraped his Android/IPhone for a flip top. He never elaborated why he opted to do this, other than to "disconnect" as he put it. It's a great episode, for anyone who is interested.
Plus, the show w Dr Kelly Brogan, a psychologist who stopped treating w medications had some great insight as to the dangers of over medicating and exacerbating the symptoms. But she was discussing an array of mental illnesses, not just depression. HOWEVER, I don't agree w her approach as a whiole, as she is very pseudo. For example, I looked up the research she referenced and findings to back up her points and she misrepresented the literature. But overall, she brought up some great points.
I agree though, folks need to know there's a way out. That's important and Fury was great. Peoplejokd about shit like this and my humor is as morbid as anyone's, but it's depression is serious and horrific for those who are experiencing it.

The thing you're looking at right now is possibly the most relevant factor in causing mental illness in the western world. Human connection and interaction is NECESSITY for us -- folks go crazy without one another. Huge blocks of time are being devoted to these devices and we are have become content w this; hence, my long-winded response. Something is missing from many of our lives: human beings.
Regardless of the relationship quality, we have been living together in close quarters for roughly 130,000-180,000 yrs. This societal bond has been diminished rapidly and we are now witnessing the extrodinary cognitive repercussions.
Numbers of peer-reviewed studies have been conducted on this topic over the last 5-8 yrs and the analysis of data is virtually identical, regardless of where the data was garnered (primarily, western nations). The Japanese identified this problem and started to build rehabilitation instatutions in its bigger cities; perhaps, a far more common trend in the not so distant future.
Undoubtedly, people will laugh at this comment. And those comments are evidence of my point: we have forgotten how to communicate appropriately and it's stripping us of our humanity. Sure, we've seen little fuckhead for thousands of yrs, but they never had the courage to voice act of their impulses, as they'd get their teeth knock down the throat. This to is clear evidence of what happens when we don't interact in the same environmental. The human niche has change.
Check out, "Is Google Making us Stupid," by Nicholas Carr. It's not a research study, but a short and right to the point article: startling piece of writing.
And no, I don't suffer from mental illness, but in my line of work, the augmentation of this problem is prevalent among our teen populations, more so, than any other age group. It's not in the water, it's airborne and has contaminated our screens. Mind you, I'm not a Luddite, but "we have a problem, Huston."
