"Antidepressants will not resolve the psychological issues that existed before the depression began. After the depression magically resolves with antidepressants, all of those issues are still there waiting for you to work on. "
------------------------------------------------Thats the problem, most people abandon the notion that their depression was caused by their problems, and adopt the idea that it was something wrong with their preception. That, of course is more palatable. Most people who start AD's figure they don't need CBT.
The imballences caused by stress, are more universal than we would like to believe. I know that I like the chemical imballence theory cause it made me feel special. But I am like everyone else who gets depressed because of stress. Sometimes these imballences are purposefull. They tell us to let go. Masking burnout with prozac is deadly.
