Re: My mom gives great advice
SB, I went through something similar a few years ago. I didn't my parents for fear of what my mom would say, so bravo to you.
Lisa, I think in terms of whether or not you will always have to be medicated it is dependant upon the person. My MD theorizes my depression was brought on by chronic pain (I was in a couple of bad car accidents in a 6 month period) and that my body stopped making enough of a certain hormone because of it.
I say both a psychologist and an MD over it.
I was on medication for less than a year. When I went off it, it was a bit of a struggle to keep my mood stable. Interestingly the first time I had my period after I went off the medication I felt really depressed and called my doctor about it. She said that was fairly common and that it would probably be a few cycles before that didn't affect my mood greatly. This was almost 9 years ago now. I think I might be more susceptible to depression now that this has happened but so far I have never felt I needed medication again.

Agreeing with Mod here in that it all depends on the person. I've been through three major depressive episodes and was briefly on Zoloft all three times. I prefer not to be constantly medicated and all of my doctors have concurred that it's not necessary. Sometimes I just need to be balanced out in order to begin getting my emotions to a reasonable level and to regain the energy/strength to, to put it bluntly, keep living.
