More stupidity and sheer ignorance from people who think they know everything.
1. How do you know none of us have experienced depression? Psychic powers? GJ on knowing me better over an internet forum than I know myself. And yes I have been depressed for years myself, and the only place I'll admit that to is on a forum where noone knows me because its embarassing and awkward as hell. Did I do drugs to get out of it? No. Am I out of it? Yes.
2. None of us said don't visit a psychiatrist, someone even said she visited a GP and it helped her a lot. We said TRY EVERYTHING ELSE FIRST before taking drugs, not go and pop them like candy expecting it to be a miracle lifetime cure. You're saying that's wrong? lol
3. Talking doesn't help? lol i can't even begin to comprehend why you would make such a statement. What do you think they do when they visit a psychiatrist? go there and cry? In case you didn't notice, human beings are social creatures and talking to someone who truly cares and understands you without being judgmental (hint: someone like you) is invaluable to life. Talking to someone you pay $$$ to see isn't the same at all.
4. If people didn't care about her genuinely, this thread would have 0 replies, including your worthless post not addressing the question the TS asked in hers.
I think it really depends on how severe the depression is. I've been clinically depressed before but I sought help because I've always been very self aware. The problem with self assessing (if you're not good at it) is that you may make the wrong judgment which could have quite serious ramifications. If you are seeing a psychologist for the first time, don't tell them you are depressed, just describe to them what you feel is wrong, let them diagnose you. I recommend anyone to see a good (recommended psychologist) immediately and then seriously consider other options first before taking meds - however if the doc says it's critical - TAKE THE MEDS.1.

Lastly, I believe your worldview makes a huge difference. I happen to believe that I didn't appear on this earth by chance and that a loving Creator created me for a reason and purpose - and that's helped me tremendously in understanding He cares and knows my pain. That gives me immense hope that life is worth living.
