Undo amount of stress

My mom is having her pacemaker battery replaced. Into the hospital I go with her. Up at 3:30 and down to the Rapid in Out unit @ Florida South. Flashing lights:they are testing the fire alarms, but this causes my migraines to flare up. I plead to the hostess (?) to have it shut off, she ignores me. Life. But. I have an IPad so I fire off a complaint to the management.(LATER THAT SAME DAY I GET A CALL FROM BRIDGET ZAMORA AT THE HOSPITAL, TO SAY SHE IS FOLLOWING UP ON THE COMPLAINT AND WILL FORWARD IT ON. THAT'S SERVICE!)
This is causing severe stress, and brings on, well, the "symptoms". Not the depression, as of yet, but burning in the privates, as I call it.
Doc Dan published the last post here in his newsletter. I hope more people get to read about the inane, rudeness of Doc Rivera. When one deals with depression, the weakness of the brain broadcasts itself through the personality of the person in such traits as timidness, sheep like dependence on the one who administers the drug. I think that doctors manipulate these poor souls by the very drugs they administer. People crave to be in control of their minds, to have the ability to make confident decisions, even about small things.
DEPRESSION SAPS THE MIND OF CONFIDENCE! To play with that trait in anyone should be a crime, a crime against mental health.
DEPRESSION CAUSES CONSTANT NEGATIVITY IN ALL SITUATIONS. To play with this by giving medications and not trying to cure the problem permanently, well, it is causing tremendous societal pain. Look at the killings at Columbine and other things that have occurred. These people are in true pain, and the doctors are not trying to heal, but to mask the problem. All in the name of making more and more money.
DEPRESSION SAPS PHYSICAL STRENGTH. What things we all could do for ourselves and others if we could have the strength.
When doctors give the antidepressants they think that they are providing the confidence, positivity and strength that a depressive needs. The medications never completely fill the bill. They are a stop gap to prevent suicide, perhaps, but to live on them forever? And to never suggest that any number of things could be wrong with the body? To say that there could be so many things wrong that it is easier to take a drug than to try to heal you, well that is criminal. Drugs don't heal, they mask.
