Mr. Thompson gives us both sides of the story along with his theories of the causes of depression.Depression truly does come in different forms.  His prescription for societally caused depression is reasonableand his explanation of drug usage caused depression is truly a cautionary tale.Having said all of that and having given him a 5 star review I must vigorously disagree with his suggestion that atheismis a potential cure for depression.  I am a Christian and suffered bouts of depression before that experience.  After havingbecome a Christian, my world view totally changed.  Since I no longer have a fear of death because of my  faith decisionmy place in eternity is assured.  I have undergone many serious life setbacks and I have not had any depressive episodes as a result of those emotional setbacks and remain very positive and upbeat.  Having said that I say that becoming a Christian and not an atheist is the non pill cure for depression.
