Hey Maclin, I had my appointment yesterday, and I do have and anxiety driven depression. I was perscribed Effexor, which is one of the newest drugs on the market treating depression-so i was told. I feel pretty hopeful that im gonna beat this, that in itself has helped my condition.

Anyways I just wanted to recommend a book for you. My Doc told me to go out and buy as part of my treatment. My Doc is very good, she is very understanding and I have a really good relationship with her, so I trust her, plus I read about a quarter of it last night, and it is EXTREMELY insightful. The book is called "Feeling Good" by David Burns. I would recommend it to anyone who is depressed or not feeling like they want to feel. This is somehting you NEED to do. The book is about cognitive therapy (thought therapy) and how our negative thinking is reason for our suffering. I've read a lot of "self-help" books, but this one is different. I seems to be more geared to common sense...anyways late for work.

hope it helps!

I know it will, just give it a chance...
