Anti-depressant scandal

In later work, Nesse argued that depression is sometimes the brain’s evolved signal that something in a person’s life needs to change, such as a harmful relationship, an unrealistic career plan or a goal that needs to be re-evaluated. What that means in practice is that it’s not always best to bombard depression with medication.

I adopted that view very early on, before I was in need of any sort of remedy. In part I was influenced by reading the novel "One flew over the cuckoo's nest" and then later watched the film adaptation. Another influence was at least the title of this track from the Stranglers:
Something Better Change

It also happened to be one of the few songs from that era that I used to try to play on a mandolin

Incidentally the drummer with that band died a few days ago at the age of 84.
