> Although I have read a few accounts, here at Babble, of people with possible lingering adverse effects from E, when I said drugs can exacerbate depression, I was thinking more about how ongoing drug use can affect mood and complicate treatment, not so much about past use.
Either way, I would like to know which drugs you mean. They're not all the same, and we shouldn't forget that Prozac and Remeron and Lamictal and all the other things that we take are drugs, too. Whether they're legal, or what they're marketed for, isn't a chemical or pharmacological property of the drug; it's a result of the associations that society attaches to it.
> In any event, I don't really think focusing on past drug use as the supposed *cause* of depression is even useful for treatment, (even if they could show they were right).
That's a good point, too.
> All this is just my opinion, anyway.
Hey, I responded because I care about your opinion!
