Dorothy Rowe was an interesting speaker. A lecturer in psychology and psychotherapist she had some very interesting things to say about depression. For instance, depression is a noun, a thing; but actually depression is not something you have, it's something you do. Depression is a set of behaviour traits.
According to Rowe a contributor to depression is the teachings of the great world religions. They all teach, in their own different ways that good behaviour is rewarded and bad behaviour is punished by God. This of course is a belief that people have in the teeth of the evidence. Bad things happen to good people and good things happen to bad people. She explained that Protestants and Catholics do depression differently. I found this fascinating. She didn't elucidate how, i shall have to read her book.
