Here's the truth. Some people have brain chemistry that is deficient in allowing correct processing of thoughts.
Medications and/or a combination of medication/counseling can allow you to manage the illness.
Ugh, you mean medications like Zolof, Prozac, and such?
Aren't there class action lawsuits going with those? That would be a last resort in my opinion.
Anti-depression drugs are no different than any other drugs, they have their benefits and their side effects. But if you have the problem they fix, there is no substitute for them. People have very different reactions to the different meds, however.
Yes, Rock Hudstone (love your name) those are just some of the medications available.
Balance and moderation to all things in life applies to these meds, like all other solutions......unfortunately the stigma of "pill popping solutions" and "10 steps to success" over shadows good medicine. I would imagine many/most family doctors are not qualified to prescribe these meds. and would suggest to find a psychiatrist, as they are experts in the medication area (Psychologists cannot prescribe meds).
Like other illnesses, there are wholistic/homeopathic treatments for mental issues too. That's a personal decision. What else can I say?
Last resort? How about an educated resort? Remember how one is always successful in finding a lost item in the last place one looked? If you would have looked there first, think how much time you would have saved!
Take care.
