My doctor told me that even if medication konks out, it can provide a window of opportunity for making changes and improving one's condition- by feeling better for awhile, getting some momentum, shifting one's frame of mind and experiences. If depression or anxiety was useful for any of my ancestors' survival- great. It's not useful for me--and those ancestors wouldn't want me depressed either!I'd also like to point out that poor and destitute people have high rates of depression- depression is not a rich person's indulgence.
