Can any doc explain why can't you over come depression with just willpower?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A depressed mood can: Often be overcome with willpower but that usually isn't the case for clinical depression. Chemical changes can occur in the brain which need correction. Additionally, sometimes people need to change a distorted mindset ; learn new coping skills to conquer depression. Take care.
