>> IMHO people are far too reliant on the meds and fail to ever actually address the emotional causes of their depression. Most people who successfully escape depression seem to have found god, had an emotional epiphany, have success in therapy, or just eventually snap out of it. Not to say the antidepressants are not effective, just generally are not a very good permanent solution. I.E. You could live the rest of your life semi-happy with any varying number of side-effects from your medications, or directly address the cause (EMOTIONS!!) and hopefully not need the meds anymore! <<
Matt, for some people it truely is just chemical. Psychotherapy has done very little for me over the last 12 years. I would never had served without my meds.
