I do not condone mass prescribing anti-depressants simply because someone is depressed. That being said, I understand that there are select few people who truly DO have extreme chemical imbalances that cause them to act in a way that is hurtful to themselves and other people.
The way I see it, if you really need to use them, then do so...but if you can help it...use them for a short a time as you possibly can. Often times depression is caused by misplaced anger. It is good to go to therapy while you are on anti-depressants.
The anti-depressants will keep you from doing anything unhealthy while the therapy helps to try and solve the internal problem. Depression usually is not a problem in and of itself...it's an effect caused by an issue that is usually buried.
I have a tendency to get depressed easily. I've never gone to therapy for it, but if I was indulging in behaviors that were harmful to myself or others I would definitely see a therapist. I've read a lot about psychology and try to apply what I've learned to myself so I understand myself better. Depression is just one of those not so fun things in life that makes life more beautiful.
You need both darks and lights for a painting to come to life.

Okay look
In my family, there is a constant flow of Attention Deficit Disorder [ADD] (which I have), Obsessive Compulsive Disorder [OCD] (which I also have), Attention Deficit Hyper Disorder [ADHD] (don't have that, but my sister does), some Bi-polarness, Anxiety, and some other stuff that I don't know about..to many family members that we never talk about and I have not met yet.
But I will say this (in regards to the masochist remark earlier):
I am a masochist. I enjoy pain, sexually. It's such a thrill t me to feel at least some pain, especially during a nice special moment with a special person.
But, I am not one who cuts himself to feel it, or see the bleeding.
I don't beat myself up, I don't do much of what people think most maschists are.
I just enjoy the pain. Helps with life more....
Another note, I have ADD extremely bad, and the only thing that helps me is caffiene, it calms me down. That's why I take it in EXTREMELY high quantities.
Then I have my OCD which is ANNOYING AS PI! I constantly clean my room, I can't have things out of order, I fiddle with everything around me, it's just plain annoying. but anymore, I am used to it.
Okay, but I myself, have never taken anti-depressants. Not once, never had them, I learned how to cope through humor, and hiding behind other people's problems. Another's anguish is the face I wear. But, I don't like people using them all the time. To many people take them anymore. It's going to ******** up the next generation to hell and back. Look at how ours is going? Drugs, murder, theft everything is getting worse again. And the more medications we take, the more our body get's used to them, and then that might spread to our children. Fun.
Alas, anymore, I gained apathy. It's amazing, probably the nicest thing since sex and Mountain Dew, but it's not for everyone.
But I do know people who are always depressed due to chemical imbalances...and they need the medications. I am glad they are around some days...

Gawd, I would scratch my arms red and bleeding for prozac! I am so badly depressed sometimes, its a wonder I am still alive.
But that doesnt help when my friends and family suffers because I am so depressed. I`d take them for theyre sake, not mine. They are the ones that suffers the most. sad

I'm taking anti-depressants and they really do help. I would suggest that you only take them if you REALLY need them, however.

They can be good for others, bad for the recipiant... My best friend's father was on them for a short period... He would throw money around in the air, saying "free money for all!" Then he jumped off a roof thinking he could fly... O.o;;
