  1. I can't help but feel that a lot of people get misdiagnosed with depression because western culture has made it seem like happiness and elation is the "normal" state of mind. So if anyone ends up being "below" that, they start thinking they're depressed and overfocus too much on it until it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Being in touch with your "raw" mental being seems to be something that most people just desperately try to avoid at all costs, rather than sitting down and just go through the experience and learning how to deal with it. If you're tired, everyone drinks coffee or energy drinks. If they're stressed, the drink or smoke cannabis. If they're comfortless they eat unhealthy foods. If they're sad they start popping anti-depressants. How is anyone supposed to be able to learn to know themselves when they immediately resort to chemical escapes of somekind to avoid having to go through an inconvenient emotion?
