So you will be working hard to make sure that Japan knows that it is depressed, and your pills will solve the problem for them, eh? Sounds honorable, kimosabe.
There's nothing wrong with using pills. I've had severe MDD (clinical depression) since childhood and my mum is the last person who would resort to feeding me pills; they were the only things that were effective enough to let me live my life somewhat normally. They still are.
I tried to substitute them a few times with more exercise, herbs, teas, voodoo, and comedies. I'd be OK for a week or two, but I'd eventually start degrading into a shit state.
Thank the fuck and heavens for the pharmaceutical industry.
First, I don't work on Depression so I can't really answer your comment in any sensible way. I was just sharing my knowledge of the market. Besides, there are conditions where you need treatment. I don't know if you have ever met REAL people suffering from depression but basically when you have that condition you can't function at all anymore. You can't work, you can't have friends, you can't communicate well anymore and when you reach that point I tell you you'd be glad to be able to take some pills to make you a normal person with normal emotions again. Your comment makes me think you don't really know what you are talking about, because depression can lead to suicide and having the right drug at the right time can really save you. I'm not saying the solution is ONLY about drugs, but when you hit the bottom, it's helpful to get back up.
Might be nice if societies didn't develop dependencies on massive, corrupt, for-profit, international pharmaceutical agencies though, wouldn't you think?
