Myth or Fact

Hi Everyone,
 
First off, a Happy Hanukkah to all those celebrating the first night tonight.
Now to the statement:
 
Drugs used for treating depression are addictive
 
This is actually a myth. 
Drugs used for treating depression are not addictive or habit forming. When depression is in remission, the drugs can be slowly tapered off and stopped. Myth and fact courtesy of the World Health Organization
