Question:

Do you think americans depend too much on drugs to deal with their depression?

Im rather curious to see what your opinon is. Im on meds myself for depression, but I could live my life without them. With my doctors consent I have to stay on them. I dont think a person should rely on drugs to deal with depression. Depression can be dealt with by talking to a trusted friend, and keeping your mind occupied. If you dont think about it, it wont dominate your life.


Answers:

I think it all depends on the person. It seems like with a lot of people, it's just all in their heads...like some people will be feeling down for a day or two and then just automatically self-diagnose themselves as depressed and just put themselves into this state of mind that they really are miserable when they really don't have to be. But at the same time, I also realize that there are those who really do suffer from depression and meds can be necessary at times. So yeah, it all depends on the person.
