i mean...OK, if I went into an outpatient shrink's office and said i have depression, then i get chipper and don't sleep well for a bit...im not functioning as well as i could...now and then i get agitated...antidepressants triggered bad things...

some psych might go for lamictal, seroquel, latuda...others might pull out gabapentin (it happened tome, way back when), or...blah blah blah. treatment isn't exactly standardized, either. even in today's war on drugs environment, some doctors will use controlled substances while others take a harsher approach, and...

if one has probs severe enough to be on the drugs, just try to haggle for humane, OK treatment. that requires some research.
