Depression, from unhappiness to life (Mickaël Benyamin)
Mickaël Benyamin, clinical psychologist and psychoanalyst, reminds him. The term depression has become a catchword for both those who have taken a hit of sadness because their lives were cold, as well as those suffering from the excruciating bite of severe depressive episodes. However, between bouts of depression and depression, the medical response can be approximately the same, namely thealmost systematic prescription of antidepressants for any patient going through the loss of a loved one, an upheaval in the family or professional situation, a painful event. With the side effect ” the prevention of this work of mourning so important in psychoanalysis, to advance, develop and psychologically work on the ordeal of suffering imposed on the psyche by internal or external reality “.
For the author, loss and lack must be experiencedand the depression that accompanies them is ” the essential source of creativity and change in the human psyche “It is understood that between going through the ups and downs of life and being hit head-on by them, there is a difference, which calls for at the very least some adjustments in therapeutic responses. Mickaël Benyamin invites the reader to rethink depression. This requires meticulous work which leads him to explore the different theories on depression, to confront existing therapeutic approaches – from psychiatry to neurobiology including, of course, psychoanalysis – and to constantly question. Yes, medication support is essential, but when should it be used? What if, rather than stifling it, we should not hear and experience psychological suffering? What if she didn’t have a role to play in healing? In a world where we have never heard so much regarding well-being or happiness at work, reading that it is depressive discomfort that might revitalize existence is quite tasty.
