Depression Infographic

Trying to maintain a blog about depression while you’re badly depressed yourself is a bit like trying to sing a song while drowning – I can assure you, it’s not easy. Still, I won’t give up. So here is the infographic I have been working at for quite some time now. As you know, no self-respecting blog today is complete without its own infographic: maybe it won’t be long anymore before WordPress will even start kicking out all those dull dumb blogs that still think they can do without one. So you see, I just had to.

    Due to all the daily joys of depression, making it took a looooong time and to be honest, it’s far from finished yet. For example, the important parts about popular depression therapies and their perceived effects are still missing. So I do hope to offer you a much more complete version 2 later this year. But I didn’t want to wait for myself any longer; and maybe there also is a little truth in the old maxim “Better do something half now, than not at all.”

    Well, here it is then. If it happens to give you some food for thought, then at least I didn’t do it for nothing!

Today In History:

Friedrich SerturnerJune 19, 1783 –
Birth date of German pharmacist Friedrich Sertürner, who in 1803 (formally a year before his French competitor Armand Séguin) discovered a way to isolate the alkaloid (the active component) from the opium plant.
   He named the resulting substance “Morphium” after Morpheus, the ancient Greek god of sleep and dreams. In due course it became known as morphine. Later (around 1900) the German firm Bayer would develop a stronger semi-synthetic variety: heroin.
   Morphine soon became popular as a pain killer, for example when practicing surgery on wounded soldiers – who then found out it was highly addictive.
   While working as a pharmacist in Hameln from 1822 until his death in 1841, Sertürner suffered much from depression, which he tried to overcome by using morphine. So he ended up addicted to the drug he had invented himself.
