@rosebookay and @daveshaw, I see that you both agree that not one size fits all and that finding the right approach to managing depression is as unique as the person dealing with it. I also acknowledge that both of you are here on Mayo Clinic Connect to share your experience, knowledge, and to support others along the journey. Thank you.

We only have words on the screen without the benefit of body language and tone of voice. Sometimes, the lack of body language and tone of voice can lead to misinterpretation of someone's supportive intent. As per the etiquette of this forum, I thank you for treating each other and other members with respect. 🙂
