What we all want to do is solve our problems in secret and then come out triumphant.

Yeah.

Absolutely.

That doesn't feel good.

But I do think we can heal for the most part.

And I think even if we don't, it is in some people's karma to always have a brain that is going to produce depressive thoughts.

We know, for example, that there are some genetic polymorphisms and the serotonin transporters in your brain can be a little bit different.

And so if they're a little bit shorter, we're more prone to things like depression.

So there are some things about mental illness that are not fixable.

Yeah.

But in my overwhelming, in my career, I've seen over a thousand patients.

There are three that I can think of that I've been basically unable to help in a significant way.

Yeah, I think it's your life doesn't have to be so hard.

Yes.

You don't have to cure it.

That's what everybody wants.

Everyone wants to be completely free.

Whereas I think that's, once again, the goal, right?

Like I want to be free of this forever.

I think the challenge, and this can be really depressing to hear, is like, yeah, this is going to be a part of you.
