Preschool depression

Quote:
How can you fill the life of a six year old with "math, viola, gymnastics" ? When does he get time to explore this world where he appeared and he is so curious about ? On his own ? To play - play for children is learning. The best learning there is - about himself , about what he can do, and the only way to gain self trust. Of course he gets depressed. In time he will become dull, his spirit broken and he will accept everything as "this is how things are". He will integrate into the machine. Put him on meds - and watch him become a zombie adult. An adult with the emotions, questions, impulses of a child. Not allowed to develop. How would it be like if you went on vacation, and instead of enjoying the sun, going wherever you feel like going, someone forces you into 4 hours of history about the place, followed by 4 hours of whatever, every day ? This is "inhuman". To schedule life at such a young age is more suited for a machine. For Data from "Star Trek". Not for a living being. All for "utility". This is our culture. This is not life. Utility for what ? We are mortal. See here : These kids are happy. They have no schedule. They are free. Yes their life is hard - but for a while they are free - and happy. This is what life is about : freedom to experience for ourselves - in this way getting to know ourselves. There is no other way. No book can replace this. Deny it - that is real evil...

i remember my youth. my parents put me in martial arts so that they could do whatever for 4 or 5 hours while i practiced destroying a cushy foam brick. i would occasionally look out of the window at the kids in the park and sigh. i just wanted to go out and have fun, not follow orders or practice my form. i could have cared less about such things as a kid.

Nice Mis-quote. The actual quote say "I'd love to say, ‘I’m choosing meds because we’re all too busy to deal. The pressure of gymnastics, math, plus viola lessons just got too much.’ But, oh my God.” The woman quoted was saying that she's tried everything and that meds were a last resort.
I honestly don't know what causes it, but I can guarantee it not a new thing. I hear my dad talk about his cousin sometimes and he sounded exactly like the kids described in that article. He was always negative and had outbursts. Of course being the late 60s nobody knew wtf depression was. Well, My dad's cousin grew up and ended up blowing his head off with a shotgun. From the stories I've heard, they should have expected he was suicidal at the age of 12. If medication works, use it. Just don't abuse it.

Among free people - and free children - there is no depression. I recommend the book "The Continuum Concept".
Medicine for this : it's like......I don't know , something really twisted. The problem is not the child.

I read some novels by Leonid Andreyev, the one I remember best is "Petka at the bungalow".
Found the entire book here : The Little angel : and other stories Also the first one "The Little Angel" is worth reading. These two explain perfectly all there is to explain. Some pages from "Petka at the bungalow" Evil ? Some say it does not exist. What I wrote here about is the end result. Life denied. More for some, less for others. I kind of agree with the non existence of evil. But cannot let this be and say "everything is as it should be", "nothing matters" and everything else...How can you treat people with medicine for lack of freedom ? Life denied - here take this pill... Yes you can adapt to everything - not as a child. http://www.zoriah.net/blog/2009/04/g...ild-labor.html

About "evil". It may be done trying to do "good". But it's the end result of the same thinking that got us here. Slaves competing among them on a destroyed planet. Everything is linked. Quote:
