Thanks,
I am going to therapy, she is uses both cognitive and psychoanalytic approaches.
I am still going to try to battle the depression without meds....Just wanted to hear some personal stories of others who may have taken that route. You know, if its possible.

I think it can be really easy to become dependent on them because for some they do make you feel better. My first psychology teacher actually told me that there is alot of concern in the community as to an individuals brain not being able to produce enough serotonin on its own after the use of SSRI's, that alone along with research I had done, makes me weary..
I really believe that alot of it has to do with the way I am thinking right now because of things I am dealing with.
