because treating a psychological disorder is NOT AS SIMPLE as cutting out a tumor or repairing a broken bone. there is not only the physiological, but the emotional/cognitive things that YOU ARE CONTROLLING. i'm sorry if you aren't all better with a wave of a magic wand, but it's never going to be so simple. never. honestly? there's no benefit to be had when you're that hostile toward the methodology and the treatment. you're the one who chooses to keep putting yourself through it (i know you would like to say that society dictates it, but it is still your choice to make unless you are unable to care for yourself independently). i'm sorry that depression will never be as easy to cure as an ear infection, but no situation improves without proactive effort. if you don't like the doctors or their methods, get new ones. i'm a member of the shittiest HMO, with the most limited availability/choice of doctors, and i still manage to take control of my situation in the ways that i can. how could i ever expect to find help in something i detest, something that i don't respect, something that i think is harmful and irreverent of my humanity?
