I am a 48 year old man, who spent my life believing depression and anti-depressant medication were crutches for the weak or people who lacked conviction. I had a mental breakdown at work a year ago and have not been the same since. After attempting suicide and almost losing my family, I gave in and am being helped with therapy and medication. My doctors are the literally saving my life. I may never be the same again, but I want to live now.

I have felt the same way about not understanding about depression and anxiety. I am 53 and was hit with it about 8 months ago. I sure do have a different outlook now. I've tried medication (antidepressants) which only made me worse. I try meditation, but have a hard time focusing. Benzo's calm the nerves, but are very hard to get prescribed by dr.s plus they are very addicting. Hope we can all find a miracle cure.
Great doctors and therapists - period. I wanted to fight like hell, and they worked me over until I realized that fighting meant being still. Peace to you.
