Ed Welch on Depression

"You have to be willing to put up a fight. Let's say you find that you are reluctant to work at it. If that's true, you ought to question whether you really want to change. It may sound odd, but many people don't. The work involved doesn't seem worth it, they hate what they will have to face if they are no longer depressed, or they are loyal to their own style of life, preferring to wait for the world around them to change. So have the courage to ask yourself, 'Do I really want to change?'" - Edward T. Welch, Depression: The Way Up When You Are Down
