I somehow do not agree to Dr.Mirkin when he says that depression cannot be handled by pstcotherapy, but with the intyake of anti-depressants. Dr. Mirkin feels that the causes of depression including feeling of helplessness, loneliness, guilty and sadness are due to the low levels of serotonin and consumption of anti-depressants would enhance it. On the other hand he says that consumption of Wellbutrin, Prozac, Paxil and Zoloft increases the sexual desire.



Does Dr. Mirkin guarantee sexual fulfilment during that period? In such cases when it is not fulfilled then the patient commits suicide. Then he goes on to say that a combined regimen of anti depressants may reduce the sexual desire, insomnia and tiredness. However, anti-depressants cannot reduce depression permanently. The patient cannot be kept on antidepressant pills through out his life...I hope Dr.Mirkin would agree to that.
