Thank you for the comments. You said you've accepted your condition and the limits it involves. This is what I have not done yet so I think I'll have to work on this issue. The reason why I excluded major depression is that in that case the computation of pros and cons of the treatment is easier: you have nearly anything to loose and very much to gain in trying meds. About the cure issue I wasn't referring properly to psychiatrists but rather to mass media propaganda (at least in Italy). I'm sick and tired of reading that depression is a curable illness, that you have to take meds just for a little period (what they told me ten years ago), that the new meds are virtually free of side-effects and other stupid things. Unluckly also many self-styled TV-psychiatrists say the same (false) things. By the way, what was the magic cocktail that helped with sexual dysfunctions ? : )
