Just interested in a poll out of pure interests sake? Maybe a mod can assist with the options?

Weird how many "depressing" / "depressed" threads are popping up lately hey?

Anyhow, never used (never had to either) them, but from what I've heard, those pills can screw with you also... Causing some imbalances ect. And it can result in addiction for many peeps also.
Don't know the merits of this, it's just what I've heard.

Maybe it`s winter creeping in. They say people in places like London/overclouded/cold etc.
has higher depression rates.
Watch my favorite funny movies, hang out with buddies, play some games
and if it gets tuff... go on the knees

Some people might have severe chemical unbalances that might have to take it, but that
will then be for the rest of their lives (thank goodness i`m not one of those).
Some others might just be down right depressed because of their state of mind and situation
and can be helped without drugs, but if they turn to the medication will be hooked for life/mistake...
I think it`s all about proper diagnosis/tests.

Misleading heading :(

Here I was thinking that a Strippers Pole in the bedroom is a cure for Depression.....
 
Can we also have a stripper pole?

nothing much, except that i had severe withdrawal symptoms such as disorientation, insomnia, palpitations etc. etc.
when i was on it, it definitely helped. the problem was quitting it.

I have seen antidepressants totally destroy people that I care for.

I know they can help some people, it's just not for me.

finally we agree on something.
i'm sorry to hear about your experience.

when i started taking the anti depressants, i could actually feel how my brain functioning 'changed'. i had headaches and felt very light headed.
once my body adjusted, i felt fantastic and on top of the world.
when i skipped a few doses for a couple of days (forgot it at home when i went on holiday) and started feeling exceptionally 'bad', i realised for the first time that i was addicted to the stuff.
it took time adjust to "reality".

Very few people agree with me, don't worry. :D

I've no doubt that they can help but what happens if what happened to you goes down? I hate the idea of being so reliant on a pill. I'd rather fight and claw my way to happiness because at the end of the day, I know it's real. It's the same thing with tranquilizers, I love the feeling of taking a tranquilizer because all my stress and anxiety just disappears but I will not use them regularly because it's just not real.

Those who are anti-anti-depressants are preventing a lot of sickos from receiving help. Very immature.

i do think there are cases where the use of anti-depressants are fully justified.

there are alternatives to anti-depressants but not everyone has the ability or capacity to consider those alternatives.

i don't want to use anti-depressants. i'm not saying "don't use anti-depressants" - i'm saying i won't use anti-depressants.
