Unpopular Opinion(s)

[QUOTE]I went to a therapist when I was depressed, because I was really against taking drugs for it. I thought I could just work it out. But guess what? it's a chemical imbalance. Just as you can't treat cancer by talking about it with someone, you can't always treat depression that way either. Depression is a physical disease. AND, this is why people are ashamed to admit it and talk about it.

*clappity*

Yes, this exactly. I tried for years to go without meds because I thought that eating healthy, exercise and counseling were enough to keep me ok. But with a chemical imbalance it can be, for some people, impossible to stay balanced without meds. My doctors ALL agree with my treatment and my pharmacologist is a leader in SSRI research. I will likely be one of the patients he follows when I get pregnant and afterwards to help learn about depression/anxiety meds and pregnancy.

It took me YEARS to be able to tell people this stuff. YEARS to be able to say I have mental disorder and when someone says to me "Oh come on, it can't be that bad" it makes me want to punch them.

Ok I'm going to take my PTSD anxious self and go home. Peace out cub scouts!

Ghoti · May 2011

For what its worth Shan, I do believe in some cases that genuine anxiety disorders/depression can be overcome with lifestyle changes and/or therapy, but that doesn't make it any less real, ya know?

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Unpopular Opinion(s) : OMG, STFU. THat is a blanket statement that is patently untrue. THere are types of anxiety and depression medications that CAN be addictive (i.e. Xanex), especially if they are abused or taken differently than prescribed. There are many, many other pills that are not addictive and don't get you high.

Posted by SapphireBride12[/QUOTE]

WTF are you talking about? Many medications treat both anxiety and depression. Yes there are some that are addictive, Xanex for one like Bay said, but most of the meds used to treat chemical imbalances do just what they are supposed to do: treat the imbalance.

You have no idea what you're talking about.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Unpopular Opinion(s) : I know it's controversial, but I'm gonna gree with this. And add to it, most depression meds. I think docs/therapists/whathaveyou are WAY too liberal with the 'script pad. Feeling blue? Take a pill. Whatever. (granted, in some cases, it's warranted, but holy shiz, it seems like if someone sneezes they get a pill for a 'disorder') Edit - I'm certainly not referring to people with severe needs for meds. I get that it's needed sometimes. But not for random bouts of stress.

<div>When I was in junior high, I had a really bad diving accident. I grew quite depressed, and it was, quite frankly, the most miserable experience of my life. By the time I was 14, I had already spent multiple weeks in an adolescent psychiatric ward because I repeatedly tried to commit suicide. I have scars on my wrists, and I have some liver damage from the pills I took.</div><div>
</div><div>Going on antidepressants, along with seeing a therapist, saved my life. I wasn't just feeling blue--I had a life-threatening medical condition.</div><div>
</div><div>That being said, I do see a difference between actual clinical depression and feeling depressed about a major life event. One of my former roommates wanted to immediately start medication when her friend died so she didn't have to feel anything. Personally, I want to feel the pain when a loved one dies. I know it won't last forever, and I feel the grieving process is an important and necessary natural part of life. I wouldn't want to look back and say, "Oh, I never cried for my loved one."</div>

Anti Anxiety Drugs are tranquilizers or benzodiazepines. These give you a high feeling and are addictive.

An Anti Depressant is an SSRI (serotonin reuptake inhibitor), a TCS (tricyclic) or an MAOI.

They are different classifications for a reason

Tell me all about the research YOU have done on anti-depressants, anti-anxiety meds and addiction. I want to hear it. Because I have done plenty and am in the care of a leader in SSRI research. Until you show me your sources, you can kindly fuckoff.
