@Wiseacre Well. Instead of pushing drugs on to myself for long term issues mentally i have instead partcipated in finding root cause issues that require no anti depressants. Although ive been on anti depressants for many many years unwittingly. They should actually only be used to treat symptoms for the short term until you start to work on root cause/s of why you are stuck in that rutt. Anti depressants are short term. Or should be because you eventually plateaux at any dose. And then what? You are effectively back to square on. Stuck on a addictive and " in the main" hard drugs to pull away from and you feel no better (if not worse) than when you first stepped in to express deep depression. So yes i suppose iam my own doctor in that respect as i try to fight root causes. I havnt as yet found anyone in the medical world here looking for those root causes so you have to educate yourself. On yourself. If a person likes anti depressants and they help then great. I have had many anti depressants and anti psychotics that do help very short term. The medical world has been very good to me in other ways. Saved my life quite literally physically. But mentally its educating yourself the day you really can look back and try to pick out the parts of your individual life where things went wrong. No pill can fix that forever.
