There you go. You could still have been fine all these years.
How much worse is that than the search for 'the perfect med' so many of us are searching for when a beer may work just as well. Of course the docs /pharma would never admit this but who's to say it wouldn't work as well for some. Not for me but others with a certain chemical makeup.
My brother admitted he no longer gets depressed (triggered by a divorce or great stressors) since he relies on his evening beer or wine to mellow him out after stressful days. My father was the same way and worked all his life, no missed work, very successful, although he was never diagnosed with the type of depression I have.
I think many people are better off on the alcohol treatment plan if it works for them and doesn't get out of control like anything else. And more for "typical" depression, not the atypical type many here have.
