A message to anyone regarding the subject of depression. There is a difference between sadness and depression. But for those with depression, if you have tried medications in the past and had undesirable side effects understand that there have been massive improvements on drug therapies for depression. The classical antidepressants, while effective, took sometimes weeks to help and were marked with side effects like fatigue, weight gain, etc. The new antidepressants have gotten rid of a lot of the side effects and help in a much quicker manner. So - please try again if you need them. And there is nothing that says you will need them forever. But give yourself a chance to feel better and know that this is not anything you can control - it happens and it is a medical condition that you did not cause. End of todays soapbox.
