Statistics show that the stortest trip to getting better from depression is to take your medication. If these medications are making you feel like crap then try different ones.
Recent research suggests that something like 10 percent of the population has inherited a short version of a allele that codes for serotonin reputake. Basically this means that almost 10% of the population has a three fold higher reputake for serotonin. Meaning they have 3 times less serotonin than the other 90% of the population.
If you have inherited this gene than it will be with you the rest of your life. If this was the case, than you could go the rest of your life and try will your brain into being happier without doing a single thing.
What I am trying to say is that the depression is telling you "You're making this all up" - "you're just a lazy person who doesn't want to work hard" - "you're a wimp and cannot withstand pain"
etc. etc. etc.
Taking a pill takes all of 2 seconds. What you really need to ask yourself is - am I a better person when I take this medication? Can I give more to the world when I feel my best ?Linkadge
