Thanks! :o)
I guess SSRIs where helpful when I was really really gone, but I think that if I haven't tried them, then I might have sort of snapped out of it myself. I don't know. I think therapy like CBT would have been much more useful. I haven't any therapy until recently, and even then its just reading David Burns CBT book. Its a tricky one. From now on, at any rate, I am avoiding all pysch meds unless I am really really really gone, and even then I will try to avoid them. But obviously now I am so much better, I am trying to be preventative measures. For me, at least, I think stress plays a large part, as I can't seem to handle it very well.
And I also think that people (in general) are far too over medicated, and either their doc or they feel the need to pop a pill for every nuance of mood disorder. Pills aren't really the answer, I don't think.
And SSRIs are just plain rubbish, which the Pharm companies want to push to make $.Kind regards
