[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How are your parents doing now? [/quote] My mother is here with me and I think she has had untreated depression her whole life. My father died in 2003 in his 50s due to decades of alcoholism. I think he was also depressed and self-medicating. [/quote] Did they seek help? Not saying "oh they should do this" or criticize in any way but I'm genuinely curious what their views are on getting professional help since I personally come from a culture/religion where people don't like to seek help even if many of them have experienced horrible trauma.[/quote] No, neither of them saught help, unfortunately. My mother just recently told me that I should have "pushed through" my depression and not gotten on antidepressants. I know better, of course, but they are definitely of a generation/culture that doesn't take mental illness seriously. [/quote]
