This is just BullS. I spent 40 years in professional psychological counseling. Its not true. And counseling doesn't cure people, it helps people cure themselves.

The poster has no idea how this works.

Losing interest in things you used to enjoy isn't a sign of depression on its own. In order to determine depression, other symptoms need to be present. In some cases it's a sign that a person is maturing or evolving. For example, losing interest in childhood pastimes and toys, moving into the teen years, is a common experience. In your case, it sounds like you're no longer entertained by fluff, and are looking for more substantive things to occupy your mind with.
