I'm 42 years old and married. Don't have any children but have a dog. I was diagnosed with depression 2 years ago. My depression mostly stems from Genetics and many years in a high stress job, although I have some unresolved issues from my past that contribute. I Graduated from college and was in Retail Managment for 17 years, Mass mostly. I am now working in Antiques. I stumbled on this site by accident while looking for information on my depression medication and peoples opinion on it. Browsed the forum and realized how many people were in the same boat as me. Where I come from, Depression is seen as more of a weakness than an illness.
