Look I will be the first to admit that modern science has benefited many in the area of depression and other mental health issues however st james you say you have been 100% for 18 years on AD's.......Am I to assume you have been on the same med for 18 years never having to go through the anguish and withdrawal process of med hopping and that you have never suffered in between meds that some how magically you were given the right pill 18 years ago and poof you have been 100% since. I know very few healthy people off meds who can make that claim let alone someone suffering from mental illness. I am functional and I am somewhat happy but I do believe our expecations of the drugs are way too high. ......and maybe being funtional and a usefull member of society is as good as it gets maybe nirvana is not acheivable through pysch meds...............thanks for the spirited debate......Gil
