Dstupid, as far as the meds go, Racer is right on. You can't say one is stronger than another. Sometimes the strongest ones turn out to be the least effective. I had very good effects from Celexa with vertually no side effects. Supposedly it works alot like Lexapro.
Also, your father's issues only tell me he probably has depression and may have always had this, so I wouldn't feel that I am the cause of it. He sounds less supportive of you than someone who is mentally balanced would. He might be disappointed in you but if he were not depressed, he would not take your failures so personally and could be more supportive of your issues.
He does not sound like he can be in a support role, so I agree that therapy would be a good step to helping deal with your issues. My mother always tried to give me advice but it was always the wrong advice for me. She made me feel like the depression was caused by something I did and this wasn't helpful for me to hear, especially from someone who I knew had a history of emotional instability heself.
Do you live with your father? Is your mother alive? Sometimes as much as they want to help. they may not be capable of doing this very well.
As far as the medical ebooks go, you can post this question to Dr Bob at the admin site rather than here at the site for all drug questions. The site is divided up by topic and those sites are at the bottom of this page.
