I think David is smart enough to take my words with a grain of salt.

Not to start a debate and divert attention to Davids message but y opinion is based on my belief that Depression is a effect of a deeper cause, namely inner feelings. Medicine is way behind in understanding this relationship IMHO, I believe if you deal with your inner feelings, than the body will balance and heal itself and no more chemical imbalance, after all, the body is a machine. The mind controls the body, not the other way around.

In respect to wanting to continue drug therapy, did Mankind need it for the last 5 thousand years? My point is I believe we all have the ability to deal with what Life throws at us or else it wouldn't happen, depression is no different.

At certain points in our Life we all have to ask ourself "where are we?", and more importantly, "where do we want to be if we are not there already?", that is the message I am trying to convey to David.
