anti-depressants Options

[Retrogressive]

what's your opinion on this generation using a lot of anti depressants? more than any other generation? could it be similiar to taking riddilin? sometmes it seems like our answers are always medicine nowdays... do you think anti-depressants are wrong or/and unhealthy? i read an article about how they can actually hurt people even more.

i was diagnosed with severe deppression and am now on anti-deppressants for it. i can see how they can be unsafe because if you are still deppressed but you have more energy (which they often give you, as stimulants), then you may be more likely to injure or kill yourself. however, they have really helped me so far and i think without them i would have killed myself... i think it really depends on the person, though, because i, for example, have close parental supervision and i see someone regularly. i also (now) have no desire to kill myself, so i think i'm pretty safe on them. but depending on your situation and your outlook on life, i don't think that all people that "need" them should take them, because they very well could make someone's life worse, and possibly even bring it to an end. it is not, however, the medicine's blame, because in the end, it is ultimately the person's choice to commit suicide. so yeah. i think it just really depends. if people weren't so stupid then they would be a lot more safe, but i also no that being deppressed can fog everything up and it's really hard to make the best decision, especially when it concerns other people who you think don't even love you to begin with, although chances are they do (i'm saying that suicide is completely selfish, because it really is if you think about it). anyway, i could go on forever, but i won't, but i'll sum it up with responsibility; |i| |a|m| my anti-drug.
