Hello Everyone, I'm new here. But, not new to major depression. I've suffered with it since age 19 & I'm 51 now. I've really beat the odds. Psychiatrists don't want us to read the DMVS-4. It states that people suffering from major depression rarely make it past something like age 30. I use watercolor paining as a form of creativity, which is the opposite of depression, which equals destruction. Anyway, I just read that most physchiatrists don't know & therefore do not warn their patients about the risk of suicide due to anti-depressants. One study showed that when people are at the depths of their depression they usually don't have the strength to commit suicide. When they start anti-depressants they start to have more energy. But, they're still depressed. This is the stage when they kill themselves. I know. I've been through this stage with so many ssri's. I"m blessed that I'm still here. I've read that Kali Mist is a good anti-depressant. Unfortunately, I live in Florida. We have the most ruthless laws against cannabis. The cops love bagging decent people just for fun. So, for now I'm just learning & waiting for the day we change the laws here. Wow! Did I rant on. Bye for now. Peace.
