Peter T, I am getting through a day at a time and am not struggling at the moment. The only reason I mentioned it here was to try to illustrate that there are plenty of good reasons for being down or depressed but far too many people seem to think that medication is the answer.

It seems a wierd world when one on is not supposed to be depressed when one watch their lfie or parts of it collapse around them. I do agree that some people can be depressed for no reason and presume that is an ilness butI think that all many people need is just a little break in life.

As a general rule, I am against psychiatric drugs of any kind and believe that they are often prescribed without any real thought. My mothers gp wanted to put her on antidepressants simply because she was worried and upset over my father being in a coma having had a stroke...
