What is Depression (and what is it not)?
"People who don't know, who say it's self-indulgence, sound callous, but it's not callousness born of indifference; I think it's callousness born of ignorance. That kind of ignorance we've got to get rid of, and little by little I suppose, we will. You say to them, 'It's a pity you don't know. I'm sure that if you knew, I'm sure that if you knew, not only wouldn't you say that, you'd try to help in one way or another.'" - Mike Wallace, On the Edge of Darkness
All you touch and all you see, And the seasons, they go round and
round, He goes along just as a water lily He not busy being born is busy dying. I'm just a soul whose intentions are
good, It's the heart afraid of dying, that
never learns to dance; I've looked at life from both sides
now All that is gold does not glitter, Beauty never slumbers; Before the beginning of years It's easy, perhaps to die for a dream![[New]](new.gif)

Snippets of Lyrics and Poems...
Is all your life will ever be.
- - - Pink Floyd, "Breathe"
And the painted ponies go up and down.
We're captive on the carousel of time.
We can't return, we can only look
Behind from where we came,
And go round and round and round in the
circle game.
- - - Joni Mitchell, "The Circle
Game"
Gentle on the surface of his thoughts his
body floats
Unweighed down by passion or intensity
Yet unaware of the depth upon which he
coasts
And he finds a home in me
For what misfortune sows, he knows my
touch will reap
- - -Fiona Apple, "Pale
September"
- - - Bob Dylan, "It's Alright,
Ma"
Oh Lord, please don't let me be
misunderstood.
- - - Joe Cocker, "Don't Let Me
Be Misunderstood"
It's the dream afraid of waking, that
never takes the chance;
It's the one who won't be taken, who
cannot seem to give;
And the soul afraid of dying, that never
learns to live.
- - - Bette Midler, "The
Rose"
From up and down, and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life at all.
- - - Joni Mitchell "Both Sides
Now"
Not all those who wander are lost
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by frost.
- - - -J. R. R. Tolkien "Lord of
the Rings"
All is in her name;
But the rose remembers
The dust from which it came.
- - - -Edna St. Vincent Millay
There came to the making of man
Time, with a gift of tears;
Grief, with a glass that ran;
Pleasure, with pain for leaven;
Summer, with flowers that fell;
Remembrance, fallen from heaven,
And madness risen from hell;
Strength without hands to smite;
Love that endures for a breath;
Night, the shadow of light,
And Life, the shadow of death.
- - - -Algernon Charles Swinburne
"Atalanta in Calydon" (1865)
With banners unfurled - and be forgiving!
It's the hardest part to follow the gleam
When scorned by the world - and go on
living!
- - - -Myra Brooks Welch
Descriptions of conditions like schizophrenia started to appear in Europe around 1850 and Kraepelin in 1878 followed by Beuler in 1908 described it quite well. Beuler coined the term "the schizophrenias", meaning literally "split mind", - not to be confused with split personality, which is entirely different. It has probably been around for a much longer time though, because it has a fairly even distribution around the world. Rich and poor, male and female, about one per cent of any population develops schizophrenia
