> If you just aren't happy with your situation in life, does that mean an anti depressant will only be partially effective ?Hi Jane,
Sorry, even an effective A-D can't turn a bad sit. into something that 'feels' good and right. But, if you truly suffer from depression, it can help u 'see' what changes need to be made to improve ur circumstances.Or can an anti depressantjust make you happy whatever circumstances you find your self in ?

I definitely think not, unless u're using opiates, stimulents, benzos/alcohol to the point of 24hr/7day a wk. intoxication! (Which some of us have done, or at least self-medicated intermittently.)Sometimes when we emerge from a deep depression, we see *more* things in our life that are not right, rather than fewer, but, we have more power to make the necessary changes for our lives to improve.
