Ms. Dancingstar,
Excellent post and to the point. I agree with everything that you have said. AD will not make life's issues or crisis go away. Hopefully they will help control true depression and anxiety issues. I have had family members put on for example, Zoloft because they were facing personal issues, but I don't think they were truly depressed. Unhappy with their life at the moment, Yes. I have also had familiy members that were classic manic depressants, real nut jobs, they most definately needed the lithium plus route and time in the rubber room. I totally agree with your exercise and diet suggestion. I follow both, after giving up alcohol, I don't feel as guilty having an after dinner bowl of lowfat, low carb ice cream! I have been through my share of major life crisis over the past 5 years, more than I wish, of course, but God choose for me to suffer thru these, I hope to make me stronger. I have learned that you have to find inner strength to stand up and deal with whatever the crisis maybe. You can't runaway, because they stay right behind you and there isn't an AD or Benzo on the market that will solve your life crisis. I think to many people are asking for an AD when talk therapy would be a much more viable solution. Now I am rambling again, see what insomnia does!
