My psychiatrist keeps recommending them to me, so many times.

Are they the only answer? Is it like, "once you're depressed, you will always be forever?"

Like those damaged goods up for grabs laying on the motted grass with a 'for free' sign? However no one ever wants them? -- the ease of just chucking things out are like the ease of poppin' pills every morning?

Are they for life? If so, then what's the point?
ADs are not the ONLY answer. I felt worse after taking them (and believe me I've tried several kinds)- and I'm surely not the only one- they don't work for everyone, unfortunately. I wouldn't mind to pop one pill every morning and be fixed forever Would be much cheaper than therapy too
It's your decision. Regardless how you'll decide, please remember that depression is treatable and you will feel better some day.
