My personal theory is that the meds help the physically induced depression (fixing the serotonin and all that). This is a physical problem that can not be willed away anymore than you can will away a broken leg. Once that's done, you are able to work on the self induced depression (low self esteem, negative thoughts, ect). The meds only help the physical problem, then its up to you. When I first got on AD's, it felt like a fog had been lifted off my brain. Suddenly I could see what my problems were without the issue being clouded. I then needed to go to therapy to address those problems.
Its all the real you, you're just doing what it takes to make it the best you possible!
