Why Treatment-Resistant Depression Persists & How CWS Method® Can Help

Why Treatment-Resistant Depression Persists—and How You Can Overcome It Treatment-Resistant Depression (TRD) is a major, often invisible public health issue, leading to premature mortality, suicide, and social impairment. It's a condition that devastates not only individuals but families and entire communities. Despite extensive research, many patients continue to suffer, trapped in a cycle where traditional treatments fail to offer relief. This phenomenon is largely due to the medical model’s narrow focus on biological causes, ignoring the profound spiritual and existential dimensions that may be at the heart of TRD. Did you know that over 50% of individuals with TRD will attempt suicide at least once? Or that the economic cost of TRD in Europe alone is an estimated €113 billion annually? These startling statistics highlight the urgent need for a shift in treatment strategies. The CWS Method®, a holistic approach to TRD, offers a fresh, integrated solution. By addressing the individual, social, and spiritual aspects of TRD, this method offers hope for those who have been let down by conventional treatments. Discover how this groundbreaking approach helps individuals break free from the cycle of suffering and find lasting healing. To learn more, read the full article.

The Positive and Negative Sides of Diagnosis And The Misleading Destigmatisation of Mental Illness

I’m generally against diagnosis except in cases requiring immediate medical intervention which only trained professionals with access to special medical technology can perform.

What’s your life’s “martial arts” belt colour?

Life mastery, I’ll keep saying it until I’ll run out of steam: Every human problem is caused by ignorance, and all the solutions are in education.
