| Interview Q. Dana, thank you for agreeing to do an interview with medgrip.com A. It is my pleasure. Q. Do you enjoy hearing from readers and how might they get in contact with you? A. I hear from people from all over the world. Some have expressed their appreciation for work I've done. Majority of incoming mail contains questions about particular treatment option. It is a reward that I've never expected when I started 'This is not about Prozac'. Readers can get in touch with me by E-mail: curedepression@yahoo.com Q. How the idea of writing that book came about? Have you ever thought you would be as successful as you have become in your second career - writing? A. Actually I don't consider myself as a writer. English is my second language and it is obviously creating a lot of limitations. We cannot talk about second career, or whatever you call it. I am an ordinary human being, who as it happened went trough severe depression over a numbers of years. Combination of my own experience with tremendous research has produced this E-book. I don' think that in near future I'll write something else of that sort. Q. What is Depression? A. It is difficult to give you a comprehensive answer within a limit of this interview. Well, let me try. Depression is a condition when one is feeling down and hopeless on everything; feeling tired practically all the time; not able to concentrate on even simple task. It can prolong for weeks, months, and in many cases years at a time. Depression is a serious medical illness; it's not something that one has made up in his head. It caused by chemical imbalance, deficiency of certain chemicals in one's brains. Fortunately we can regain this deficiency and restore the balance. Q. What is a simple task in context of the subject? Doesn it depend on one's intelligence. It sounds ambiguous. A. It has nothing to do with one's intelligence. Depression doesn't care about someone's IQ. On a pick of my depression I used to have difficulties to punch my PIN number in ATM machine or to find an account number on a credit card statement in order to write it on a check. Q. May I ask you perhaps a trivial question? Depression, Why you – a person with seemingly successful business, good family environment, with no any visible reasons for that got into deep depression and had been suffering for so many years? A. It would have been much easier to diagnose and treat depression if a mathematical formula for the condition exists. Unfortunately very common perception of the disease that one should experience a catastrophical event, something really bad that triggers depression. In reality everything is much more complicated. It is absolutely not necessarily to get through major catastrophic life event to fell into deep depression. And according to statistic 50% of severely depressed people can’t link their depression with a particular sad event in their life. |
