It would come as no surprise to me if a lot of us punters suffer from depression as many of us have an addictive habit that we use to fill a void in our lives.
I'd be interested to hear if anyone has tried anti-depressants in the past and how they felt about it.
The elephant is the ONLY mammal that can't jump
i viewed a documentary where a phychiatrist stated that all
anti-depressants work only as a placebo. there have been many links to suicide
caused by the newer SSRI type anti-depressants. Prozac sells for about €1.50 a pill, much
higher than any prior medication, so Ely Lilly (it's makers) are not depressed.

Manic depressive myself (diagnosed 1 yr ago). Been on stuff to try and remedy the condition, but I find lifestyle has a lot to with it. Eat well, drink less and exercise. Better than any pill.

SSRI = seletive serotonine re-uptake inhibiters
They change the chemicle actions in your brain and basicly dont make you depressed,
Anyway the placebo effect happens with lots of drugs and operations
But it doesnt make the drug any less sucessfull. I mean you could give some one with a head ache a pill labled asprin but really its just a placebo and chances are it will work (studies have confirmed this)
Apaerntly the best way to combat depression is anti depressents combined with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
I'm a sex addicted, alcoholic junkie in a loveless marrige and now I find out I'm depressed too !! GREAT ! Thanks Doozer, I think I preferred it when you lived with the Fraggles !!
