Yes.

Me too.

My very first thought was something which would most likely not be taken well and I can understand why. But is it said that Electro-convulsive therapy is beneficial in cases of severe and debilitating depression.

I have heard it's a bit like a re-boot to the brain. But after the horrors psychiatrist have visited on the mentally ill just over the last 100 years or so, causes me to not want to suggest that.

Dunno.

It's very sad to hear of someone suffering so completely like that. I was also going to suggest Cannabis as well, but that can make people paranoid in some cases and might worsen the situation. As it is a mild hallucinogen.

ECT can 'erase' memories.

That alone disqualifies it, IMO.



What about 'wireheading'?

Perhaps her memories are what is haunting her. Maybe not. It is just something I remember hearing in a couple of psych classes and in a documentary I watched and was my first 'flash' after reading the OP.

That the only benefits they 'found' after using said, was on depressed patients.

Wireheading sounds awful. How would that help?

MDMA, anyone?

MDMA wears off and can cause one to feel awful after. NOt to mention brain fog. I wouldn't suggest drug therapy of that kind.

If one had let's say a button they could push to receive pleasure, then how would anything ever get done? One could just sit around in a squirming mass of self pleasure.

What is one to do with someone who is suffering so completely they have stopped eating and sleeping and are begging for death?

What to do...?

Really?

It was placed in Schedule One despite an entire committee recommending Schedule Three

Well I was thinking of something which could be a more permanent solution without constant 'drugging'.

Having taken MDMA in the distant past, I know how I felt the next day. Attempting simple addition took on a complexity I found alarming. I felt like my Mind had been stuffed with cotton.



I'm thinking of a word

It has four letters

And it is an acronym

Personally, I think that when one is severely depressed to the point of begging to die, that a quick fix utilizing pleasure chemicals with their known after effects, could do more harm than good.

Especially, something as addictive/dangerous as some of the things you are suggesting.





I think I will sleep on it. nn pi. Thanks for the convo.

:)

im not sure about this sometimes there can be equasions that amplisignitures developed from this creation. they can act as a catalyst upsurge in various densities inherintly. one has to be depressed in order to be depressed
if you are not it is denial you can adapt habits disctractions impulses beyond control.

Pi...I was thinking you may be able to offer some assistance on this thread. As you know so much regarding pharmaceuticals, which I normally would not suggest, but this man's story about his wife is haunting and very sad.

I am being compelled to show you this. Perhaps you can help or make a suggestion.

I would read through the OP's posts completely to get the full picture.

Thread: Please help, please. Does anybody know?

It just blows me away the fact that you can have a team of scientists and engineers developing this instrumentation to fly through the magnetosphere of the Earth. You can’t see anything. It’s invisible to us but yet they’re going to be able to come up with a 3-D representation or model of what’s going on in the magnetosphere. You talk about that reconnection, the energy transfer between the Earth’s magnetic field and the Sun’s magnetic field. It’s unbelievable. [link to www.nasa.gov]

It involves a peculiar problem which an evolutionist could have watching or reading science fiction. In other words, someone who believed that our living world had arisen via combinations of random events, mutation, and selection would have to believe that any other living world which he might stumble across out in space would have to look completely alien to us. Thus you see the café in Star Wars with creatures whose morphologies are limited only by the writer's imagination, and read sci-fi novels in which space farers encounter living forms based on silicon rather than carbon or the RNA/DNA information system which governs our own living world.

If, on the other hand, one were actually to find another living world in another star system and all he were to find there were the same kinds of dogs, cats, bears, fish, birds, spiders, flies etc. which we are used to seeing, possibly with slightly different variations for different conditions, and the entire alien living world were based on the same RNA/DNA system which ours is, then the evolutionist has a gigantic problem; he has to explain how the same living world and that same RNA/DNA information system arose TWICE by random chance... At that point you have to consider the possibility that the living forms which we see here represent cosmic archetypes, that God operates everywhere in the universe much as he does here, and that the life forms which have existed on our own planet are the only ones you would ever be likely to find no matter how far into space you went.

I love this Secret Book of John

Gnosticism, the marriage of one ages myths with another's 'religion', esoterically obscuring the knowledge as pictographic cartoons.

Wasn't John the Redeemer a fucking peach?
