Do I have to take medication???

I never wanted to be that person that had to rely on medications to make me function. After almost 15 years of dealing with this, I've come to realize I have to. I get to a point where I think I'm better, and I stop taking them. GET THAT OUT OF YOUR MIND RIGHT NOW. If you are prescribed medication for depression, most likely, YOU NEED THEM. And trust me I've tried them all.... But Working with your doctor, you can learn to manage depression. You may have to try a few different medications to find the one that works best for you. Your doctor may also recommend that you see a therapist and/or make certain lifestyle changes. This isn't going to go away by itself.

Change won't come overnight—but with the right treatment, you can keep depression from overshadowing your life. I'm learning everyday.
