@torunnsaid With some people, depressions come and go. If we can understand the reasons why they occur, sometimes we can learn to live with them because we know they will pass. A friend of mine, she too a psychiatrist, has explained this to me, and I remind myself every time I have to - this too shall pass.
I tend to work mostly with people struggling with depression and social anxiety, so 'treatment' invariably occurs in a community setting. (Including coffee shops).
George was never depressed he was a realist who figured out you are better off dead then forced on bs medications under the mental health act. In fact mental health took over a lot of things in recent years and suicides have almost doubled but the belief of well-being big pharma medications still exist even though they are dead.

Or you end up giving them more depression & anxiety? That is a question not accusation! 😉
@ghost-of-a-dukesaid When I left my last job (after 13 years of service) I still only shook the hands of my colleagues. Some of them I think were angling for hugs.
Must be a British thing. 😏
That is my preference as well. I'm still getting used to all the gratuitous hugging that has become popular over here.

Less germ contact from hugging than shaking hands, at least according to Howie Mandel who is a self proclaimed germophobic. He also has been known to bump fists, but rarely to actually hug someone himself!
@executioner-brandsaid my psychiatrist who keeps me under the mental health act used to try to shake my hand. what person did you shake hands with before me. gross.
Your Psychiatrist seems like someone who enjoys spreading germs! 😉

But with hugs one might have to deal with psychic vampirism or at least a discordant EM field, pickpockets, the unintended encouragement of an unsavory one-sided sexual obsession, etc.

Yeah -- how about greeting each other with a bow?
The other problem with handshakes is the guys who treat it as a bone-crushing contest rather than a greeting.
