My ex believes that anti-depressants are just placebos and that it is all in our heads. He has depression as well. Although he has found comfort in alcohol, while I have been on anti-depressants for a while now and I was quick to say the same thing, until I started to feel better. So I will not say it was all "in my head" because I was very unsure about it all. But I guess you need to believe in what you need inorder to get better.
