Lost Connections by Johann Hari

Finished a very insightful book. Johann Hari in his book, Lost Connections says the following: "Depression and anxiety might, in one way, be the sanest reaction you have. It's a signal, saying--you shouldn't have to live this way, and if you aren't helped to find a better path, you will be missing out on so much that is best about being human." 
Best wishes to all who are suffering mental anguish. The message that you are weak, or biologically impaired is harmful. The Medical/Pharmaceutical Industries offer a plethora of drugs to combat depression and anxiety when in fact, the better solution might be to reconnect with the World around you. Discovering a new meaningful way to connect with Nature, Animals, and other human beings will not eliminate all the sadness but it will likely provide the strength to cope with the sorrows that surround us and skills to focus more on the beauty and relationships the World offers.
