Also there are certainly a lot of people that like to trivialize the emotional pain of anxiety and depression, so they say "no meds" when they mean "shake it off, wimp". My wish for such folks is for them to have serious depression and anxiety for just one month. They would become enlightened.

Hey bassman,
I sure agree with that statement. Medications have saved my life on several occasions. Depression that goes on and on for months and years is some of the worst kind of pain. It can destroy lives and deserves to be treated by the best that science has to offer. Our knowledge of the brain is woefully inadequate, but we are learning all the time. This "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" attitude can only come from someone who has not suffered from severe depression.
Take care,
Jedi
