Sometimes medications are warranted and necessary but they should be prescribed, taken and monitored with caution. Humans are supposed to have feelings. It's ok to be happy, sad, angry, etc. There is a difference between feeling sad emotions and being depressed. The commercials sometimes make it seem like there isn't or maybe there shouldn't be and that's what I have a problem with. <abbr><em>Jessica The Rock Chicks last blog post..<a href="http://lifeisrantastic.blogspot.com/2008/11/happy-halloween.html" rel="nofollow">Happy Halloween!</a></abbr></em> I agree.
