It seems to me that much of the misery we call and treat as depression today could be understood as melancholia. We may be experiencing a sense of melancholia in response to what we have lost in terms of the conversation surrounding our inner lives. Run by the pharmaceutical industry and insurance companies, most mental health treatment in the U.S. consists of short sessions of often short-term, often cognitive therapy and medication with the precise goal of returning the patient to efficient productivity. We have lost holistic treatment, and instead focus on managing the patient’s symptoms rather than finding their causes. [...] These messages that we are unfit, that our symptoms need to be eradicated rather than listened to, inform our emotional and psychic life — they contribute to our depression.
Ghazzans are not your property to sacrifice. Ghazzans are not yours to decide the fate of. Ghazzans are not going to die for your luxury. Ghazzans are not going to die for you. Ghazzans have the right to live like everyone else. Ghazzans have the right to a peaceful life like everyone else. Keep fighting for Ghazzah. Keep fighting for our loved ones.
