I totally agree with you David. Unfortunately, many people (myself included) have sought help time and time again from doctors, only to be met with ignorance, lack of understanding or lack of time. We have therefore not found the help we so badly needed.
People must remember that despite what certain interest groups would want us to believe, taking medicine does not equal good health. The ideal would be to have good health without having to resort to medicine. We therefore need to find out WHY we are suffering as we are and try to deal with the root cause. Doctors today are trained to deal with symptoms and not with truly promoting good health. In my view, this is a wrong approach.

We need to look at our lives in depth and ask ourselves: why does there seem to be an epidemic of 'depression' in the Western world? What are we doing to cause that? How can we change the situation? I believe we need to, as far as possible, alter our outlook on life, live closer to nature, develop our more spiritual side, and not be so obsessed with money and competition. At the risk of sounding hippyish (which I'm not!), I would say we need to learn to love people (and ourselves) more. End of lecture!!
