Yeah even a GP would have some basic knowledge to perform first round diagnostics.

Gp is know as primary care for a reason.

They are the first line to screen and diagnose. Treat and refer to specialist if necessary.

If you're ill,  whether physical or mental,  go seek help.

There's no shame in trying to get well.

Many msians think depression can be cured by just pulling yourself up or just shaking it off. This is not true.  Clinical depression has a physical element that affects your mind.

Do everything you can to help yourself. If anyone laughs at you or denigrates you for it,  they are just idiots whom you should rightly ignore.

Yes and no.
Depression has real manifestation on both mental and physical. Physical illness can cause mental illness and the vice versa is true as well.

Most ppl will have at least one episode of significant mental illness in their lifetime. A lot is able to get through it. Some don’t. Some have spiral out of control effect of mental and physical until the end.

No shame in getting help. In fact it requires a lot of bravery itself in recognizing you have a problem and you need help to solve it. The step from recognizing a problem and deciding to seek help or to solve it is already a big leap.

No, drugs with psychotherapy are the most effective way to cure depression.

If a patient with major depression develops suicidal thoughts: are you going to counsel him/her only without any medication?

Erm. Not real cures but more like aids or helpers to cope while either you do something to the situation or when your environment change to aid or suit you.
