POPSIt's OK te be depressed sometimes Even though I have benifitted from anti-depressants in the past, I am still very reluctant to start using them again when I'm feeling down. I want to shape my life in a way that teaches me the copingmechanisms to deal with what comes my way. Antidepressants have made me lethargic in the past. I wasn't bothered with negative thoughts as much, but I also rarely experienced positive emotions nor the urge to change my life. As long as it's possible to do without, I will not grab for the pills to ease my mind.

POPSUS Teen Suicide Rate Rising Take away the meds from kids and this is what happens. Yet the reason for keeping kids away from psychiatric medication persists however absurd it might be. And the reasons are absurd. If a teenager had a malfunctioning liver, only religious weirdos would say to keep the child off the medication. But when a child's brain malfunctions and there is is a medication that can help, many people cry foul and become suspicious. Why? We are only talking about organs of the body. Just as yellowing skin can be a symptom of a malfunctioning liver, so depression can be a symptom of a malfunctioning brain. The meds can save lives.
