Aw geeziz....I just posted again over there.

Clinical Depression is serious. It is caused by chemical imbalances that can be treated with anti-depressants. The drugs DO NOT solve the problems of everyday living, but they allow the person to become functional enough to accept love and support and to begin to make everyday decisions again.

CD is nothing to screw around with...period. Get a good and thorough physical. There are other ailments that will trigger the imbalances. Be truthful and open regarding your feelings with the doc and you will probably be referred to a psychiatrist who can ascertain the the dosage and correct type of drug.

I don't underestimate the power of love and care, but people suffering from CD will not be helped and indeed cannot accept what you may offer. CD is a medical problem and anyone who believes that drugs are a cop-out doesn't know jack shit of what they speak.
