After a 10 year quest of trying to lick depression with natural methods, I finally accepted that I have an illness that may require treatment for the rest of my life. The only thing I accomplished by that 10 year quest is making my mood disorder worse and more resistent to treatment. I am thankful for modern medicine and have no problem taking one small pill per day so that I can be the best person I can be.
