In no way, no way did I mean to infer that it is the patients fault that they quit their treatment and get worse. I finally learned my lesson after 10 years. It is humiliating to feel that you are not in control, and a minor point its just a huge nuisance to get refills, remember to bring them, and also a huge societal pressure as well as our own self-doubt wondering "am I just lazy" "Am I being melodramatic?" And though its fortunate that depression is finally being given legitimate recognition, its also a double edged sword. Because now that many of us have discovered what has been wrong for many years, we're accused of jumping on the bandwagon..as in "What'll it be next week chronic fatigue"
