The Call of Depression

Depression, anxiety, lack of motivation. Have you been hit by them? I have. They landed me in a 12-year suicidal depression. And, the question I’m asked, on occasion, is,

“Sven, the way you speak of your parents is that they were remarkable people who did so much right as parents. Yet, you also talk about being in a 12-year suicidal depression, at some point, that you had to pull yourself out of because you couldn’t find any therapist who could really help you. If everything goes back to childhood and parenting, as you say, then how could this possibly make sense?”

The answer is rather simple.
