Also don't hide from those that really do care and want to help.
Anti-depressants are like "Smart Blur" in Photoshop.
They just make everything appear glossy, the zits are still there!

Totally agree L-Pink.
The majority of these type of problems where the magic solution is a course of medication lasting... six months, a year, two years, more(?), are related to lifestyle. Change the damned lifestyle and address the root cause of the problem - it's usually *very* obvious.
Agree there are genuine instances of chemical imbalance and usually related, or the cause of other mental problems - this is not the norm, tho not exactly rare.
Unfortunately the pharma industry have been permitted to promote pills direct to the public and giving their "advice" to contact your doctor and explore the possibility if their pill could be right for you. A totally absurd scenario.
Similarly many doctors are also being sold, and are now behaving like parrots with repetitive actions writing scripts for pills where they have been indoctrinated from college days by the pharma corps (who also provide notepads, vacations, pens, meals, samples, - and chances are, directly or indirectly, funded part of their education).
When almost 50% of a nation are on some form of medication, it may give a clue that there is either something in the air that is causing this mass illness or a problem with the healthcare system in that people are being sold crap they rarely need. Guess the right answer
