SSRI's worked well for a while, but there was always a part of me that said "this is not right"
It's like I was well, but I was building my self a very tall - very narrow tower of happiness whoose crash almost enevitable.
I think part of the reason that they work really well for a while is because when you are first diagnosed with depression, and told that its a chemical imballence in your brain, it starts a whole paradigm shift in your thinking. All of a sudden every problem you had, could have been the result of this problem with your preception. You think that because this problem has now been fixed that you will never suffer again.
Its almost a spiritual transformation. "I once was lost, but now I'm found, was blind but now I see"
Later you realize that the emotional anesthetic will wear off and emotional pain will once again hurt.
Please note this is my little pessimistic view.Linkadge
