I'm just curious.. what is the point of antidepressants? My doctor insists I be on one, but... I don't get what the point is. The doctors say PTSD is my diagnosis, but I know my depression stems from extreme loneliness and extreme self esteem issues (I hate everything about myself). No matter how much I wish taking a pill could help, it's not going to make me suddenly love myself and make someone who loves me appear, so why bother?

Maybe this was better in the drug forum, but it's not a technical question, so I don't know.
