If zoloft it is helping you then you need to continue this regardless of what your father says!. He doesn't have to know when you take them!. It is hard for people who don't suffer from depression to understand those who do!. My husband was one who said that people with depression need to snap out of it until it happened to him!. Now he is more understanding of folks!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Let me start by saying everyone has an opinion, but you are often the best judge of what you need-or at least you and your doctor!. Many men do not like taking medication, so it would make sense they don't like see other loved ones using it!. Also remember males go to doctors less ofter than women-until it is an emergency, so fathers may not be the best source of information!.
