Excuse me but, where did I say anything about anti-depressants? I'm talking about narcotics and other drugs that leave you in a funk. Whether something "restores" what should be there or not, it's still altering your mind artificially and I am against interfering with the brain in any way.
Anti-depressants and other drugs don't stop their affect at the brain. They can have negative effects on your organs, especially if taken in a dangerous combination.
Like I said before, a lot of us have underlying reasons for our depression and/or mood swings. Anti-depressants or any other drug to "cure" this, is merely putting a band aid on a gaping wound, because it's not addressing the underlying cause(s). It's rare that people are depressed for no reason at all. There's something (no matter how minor it might be) bringing them down and there's more options than medications to deal with this.
