Depression

[jonsie]

There has been so much published about this and it's something people who don't suffer or have never suffered from depression,  cannot really understand. Speaking as someone who has been on the edge many times, recently too, it's something people can hide with a smile outwardly whilst feeling inner turmoil and not wanting friends and family to worry.

Medication alone is not the answer and this from someone who was prescribed the wonder drug Prozac  in the late 80s. Over the years my doctors have treated me as a guinea pig. In the words of the Verve song, the drugs don't work, they just make you worse....
