Aneirin -> RE: BDSM as a cure for depression and addiction (4/15/2008 9:17:48 AM)

The question I asked on this was perhaps not clear, I do understand the mechanics of endorphin release when applied to depression, it's effects though are perhaps short lived, it is respite from the darkness of personal hell. Something which can be achieved by hard exercise, provided that there is the motivation to do it, and whence started, continue and finish what you started, as failure to continue is as good as not starting at all.
My thoughts to the article reported, was that with submission, that initial motivation to exercise and there continue is taken from the subject and there treatment administerred to a conclusion out of the depressed person's control.
May it be that to control depression, a person has to be treated for their own good when they cannot see it, as quite often depression warps the understanding.
Those of you here, that do subscribe to a good beating by someone you trust, do you find relief from your illness, temporary or long lasting?
As sure as hell, medications are fraught with difficulty, expensive to boot and sometimes of negligible effect, save to create dependance and other undesireable side effects.
