Antidepressants - Curing Depression????????

[Guest guest]

I have a girlfriend on antidepressants. She feels that they have saved her

life.....as so many others have stated also....saw Terry Bradshaw the other

night on TV...his story about despression.... This really burns me. EVERYONE

at

SOME TIME in THEIR LIVES feels depressed. Everyone wants quick fixes. TIME

HEALS. If something is wrong in your life...do something to CHANGE IT.

Antidepressants only make people feel numb....the world could crash and it

wouldn't

matter. Because we are a society that wants instant gratification and quick

fixes....people run to their doctors for prescriptions to " make it all

better " . Life is not easy...as we all know. Our lives on this earth merely

prepare

us for our final destination. We all have been through many trials and

tribulations. It is how we handle them that prepares us for something better.

Life

isn't about us...it is about the lives we can touch along the way. If we,

though our experiences can teach one person about the horrors of these mind

altering drugs....we have done a very good deed.

Clinical depression is not the same as the kind of normal depression

most people face a few times in their lives. With this said, I don't

believe that SSRIs are the way to handle it. I think nutritional

supplements: zinc, calcium, magnesium and b vitamins plus therapy is

the way to go because it's not worth it to become addicted to SSRIs

or the often permanent brain changes that they cause.
