You may find it both helpful and fruitful to write down statements and comments made by men and women who have thought and felt deeply.
A problem with quotations is that they can lose their intended meaning out of context; however, maxims and insights can stand on their own.
Good psychotherapy and well phrased observations or truths are tributes to discovery and empowerment.
They allow us to recognize the world in us and ourselves in the world.
Or, in the words of Marlene Dietrich: "I love quotations because it is a joy to find thoughts one might have, beautifully expressed with much authority by someone recognized wiser than oneself."

The whole idea of calling mental health or behavioral problems--like depression, alcohol abuse--a "disease" was to encourage people to stop viewing them with shame.
That's a good point.
At the same time, in calling something a "disease" you imply that (1) there's no choice or personal responsibility involved, and (2) somebody else must fix you.
A mental health or behavioral problem can only be fixed by the person who has the problem--with the guidance of a professional, for sure.
But guidance is not the same as having something "done to you" like a heart surgeon, for example, works on your heart; or like a medication, for example, eradicates an infection.

According to two independent studies, more Americans are being prescribed multiple psychiatric medications for use at the same time.
But most people diagnosed with recent depression don't get adequate treatment.
In national surveys of more than 15,000 adults, researchers found that 8.3% met the diagnostic criteria for major depression during the previous year.
About half those diagnosed received some form of treatment for depression, but less than a quarter were treated using strategies considered effective and used in accordance with American Psychiatric Association practice guidelines.
