I read the article and read about the blame game. I thought it funny that they blame the persons parents and family. So they played the blame game in the article. Main stream psychology does that quite a bit and I'm not 100% on board with that one. Some people become depressed for reasons other than their "conditioning" in childhood. I know someone who when through a period in their life when they did a lot of bad stuff. Now they are clean cut but the remorse of what they did is causing them grief and depression. Whatever happened to this person in their childhood had nothing to do with what he did and what he is experiencing.

There are others that I know that had horrible and abusive childhoods and have become outstanding adults. They were able to recognize the issues from their childhoods and turn their lives around so the pattern did not repeat itself.

I agree with Erika as well. There is situational depression as well as depression caused by ones chemistry. For a lot of MSers, it is a neurologically based depression and there is treatment for that.
