> MagsHey Mags,
This post had been the best ever for me. I finally have met others with severe depression not convoluted with other issues such as abuse, etc. I guess some of us just got smacked hard with the depression genes.
I too would like to thank everyone who has posted .... finally alittle vindication ..... alittle reassurance .....
We should start a support group .... the normal childhood/adolescent depression group
