DARK DAYS: A Perspective on Depression & Anxiety

It seems like suffering from depression and anxiety is growing at an expanding rate. How is this possible with all the therapists, drugs, and awareness surrounding the topic? 

I'd like you to consider a slightly different perspective. What if these forms of suffering are not reducible solely to our biochemicals? What if there is something profoundly bigger behind our Days of Darkness? 

Note: I'm a philosopher, not a therapist. If you are on psychotropic medication, DO NOT make any changes to your medication without the oversight of your medical prescriber.
