This randomly crossed my mine because I know I’m not the only one here who has depression. So I making a depression thread, for members to vent, get advice and to get some support. J
Any thoughts on this? Good or bad?

    Thoughts about taking meds for depression? I have bouts of depression, although not as serious as some. Exercise has really helped me deal. But I'm the kind of person who would rather try other remedies before just popping a pill (unless of course it's necessary)

    one of my co workers daughter has done acupncture to treat depression and she has found it to be quite effective
    also you can get the Season affective disorder lamps that you can sit under (especially in the less sunny months)
    there is lots of things that a person can try
    exercise is #1 proven thing to help battle depression!:smile:

    I personally believe in medicine and medication...however....I was put on Paxil by my doctor for anxiety/depression....it's horrible for weight gain plus made me feel like I was in a fog everyday...so very hard to get off of it also. All SSRI's are not like that, just wish I would have spent more time researching in the beginning.
