Hi I have not been diagnosed for depression but I know I have it. I have known for years. Every test I have taken on the net has said that I should go to a doctor and talk to them about this. With out taking the tests I knew. Any way,it atkes a lot for me to ask fo help though finally I talked to my aunt about taking meds for depression. She was kinda upset. She knows that I am not happy much but she feels that meds are the wron way to get through this. She says it would be like me using drugs. So she does not support this. I am almost 18 so I think I could get them anyways nw. It's just she keeps sayin that most of the pills do the opposite of what u need them to do. My grandmother has depression, though she refuses to take meds. She says they do not help, so thats where my aunt gets all of this from. My mom use to take meds because she had depression, she no longer takesthem but she said they hlped her and she no longer needs them. So apparently its in the family. My friend alsotakes nti depressants and says they have helped some what. I realize thy wont ake my life wonderful and I don't expect everything to be perfect though do wonder all the time that maybe they could help me out some. Cause there are times I get sad for no reasons at all. I have another friend who is against meds almot completely and she is saying "u shouldn't take them its supid". SoI am asking u b/c u have been through these things. Please give me advice on what to do. Help appreciated.
