"It is likely that depression, anxiety, and anger come from heritable personality traits that can only be ameliorated, not wholly eliminated... So one thing that clinical psychology needs to develop in light of the heritable stubbornness of human pathologies is a psychology of "dealing with it." We need to tell our patients, "Look, the truth is that many days - no matter how successful we are in therapy - you will wake up feeling blue and thinking life is hopeless. Your job is not only to fight these feelings but also to live heroically: functioning well even when you are very sad." - Martin Seligman
