The other day this leapt out of the pages of O and smacked me in the face.
They say
there is a rift in the human soul
which was not constructed to belong
entirely to life
-Louise Gluck
For some idiosyncratic reason this calls to mind my theory that the depressive brain is an evolutionary glitch that, minus modern pharmaceuticals, would have killed off those possessing it in order to protect future generations of homo sapiens.
In darker words, treatments for depression don't treat, but only delay the inevitable self-destruction of the depressive mind.
