Most doctors will suggest lifestyle changes before drug therapy. But the brain is a very complicated instrument. Depression has been known to cause suicide aso I am very clear on this blog that it is quite okay and acceptable and not "wrong" to take medication. It is my stance here. My personal belief is along the lines of what you are saying but for many people that just doesn't work. Excellent comment. Most doctors will suggest lifestyle changes before drug therapy.

I would like to add continuing to take good care of yourself. Get up at your usual time. Dress nicely and do the whole make-up bit as if you were going in to work. That is crucial in keeping morale up. Also, reading positive affirmations just before you go to sleep may sound cheesy, but it they do their magic while you sleep and you will wake up in a more positive frame of mind. Medication is an option if the depression is severe. It has its place. But is shouldn't be your first option. <abbr><em>Rika Susan's Juicing Funs last blog post..<a href="http://www.best-juicing.com/blog/2008/09/01/healthy-fruit-or-vegetable-juicing-recipes/" rel="nofollow">Don’t Stop At Healthy Fruit Or Vegetable Juicing Recipes!

Meds help millions and people should consider natural and/or medical options to treat their depression. Most importantly, they should trust their doctor over random websites and give the doctor all the best and truthful data they can. I respectfully disagree.

They will mess you up more in the end. I don’t think that medication is the way to go when treating depression. They will mess you up more in the end.
