Dear linnzy298,

My son suffered a severe depression when he was 9 years old. Our doctor put him on meds for about six months. It really helped. He was able to get off of them and hasn't been on them since. He is now twenty two and has learned how to regulate his psychological problems by talking to friends and his divorced parents. Medications can be a godsend when they are needed. Be wise and follow Leed's advice. God bless.
