hey. I think maybe I sounded a little harsh. Here's the thing: meds are GREAT if you're severely (name of disorder here). So, if you have Bipolar I, schizophrenia, psychotic depression, crippling anxiety, severe attention deficits, OK.

Its not that I don't think an AD might help you, its just that I think that, over the long-haul, therapy and maybe some form of self-expression might be more helpful for you. If you slip into a deep, dark, crippling depression, there are plenty of options out there to at least take the edge off. But if you're dealing with more moderate depression--the sort that doesn't necessarily hamper your daily life too much, but does cause some problems--you have a lot more options. Maybe meds, maybe therapy, maybe supplements, maybe exercise...you've got options. If you're a spiritual and/or religious person, that's an option, too.

Good luck!
