In every life a little rain must fall. I’ve read that somewhere, but I don’t know who said it. In any case, it is very true. You may feel you have a blessed life, but the time may come when you will face something that will turn your world upside down. Most people who face depression will snap out of it rather quickly, as that is the way the mind works. For others though, depression can be a clinical problem, and they have to rely on a depression medication in order to function in their lives from day to day.
If you must take a depression medication, your doctor may have you try a few before you settle on one that works for you. Even though Tom Cruise might think differently, depression is a chemical problem and there are drugs that can help even this out for you. A depression medication won’t fix your life, but it will help you deal with things on an even keel. Your problems and feeling won’t totally go away, but you will be able to see them from a more level point of view.
| Quote of the Day |
Psychoanalysis is unlike traditional medicine in that nature does not so readily supply us with a working definition of the psychically “normal.” Our definition of physical normality (”health”)We have to ask ourselves whether medicine is to remain a humanitarian and respected profession or a new but depersonalized science in the service of prolonging life rather than diminishing human suffering.

I have a friend who recently started take a depression medication. She was severely depressed and couldn’t snap out of it. She had thoughts of ending her life, and her husband stepped in and took her in to see a doctor. She is much better now, and she says the depression medication has cut out on the dangerous lows that she was feeling. She said she not longer gets super excited about things, but she also doesn’t feel deep despair. It’s not perfect, she says, but it is far better than what she was feeling. She hopes that she will one day get off of the meds, but right now she feels more secure taking them. She wants to live her life, not worry about how she is feeling all of the time.
If you feel you might need a depression medication to help keep your emotions on an even keel, don’t take it lightly. Go in to see your doctor and discuss what is going on in your life, and be honest about all of your feelings and what each day is like for you. You should know that when things look bleak you are not alone, and you can take a depression medication to help shed a little light into what you may be seeing as a very dark existence. You can feel better; you just have to give yourself the chance.
