Fuck antidepressants. I was on 'em, and I went off 'em of my own volition because I knew they didn't bloody work (and made me tired besides).
Wanna cure your depression? There are two ways.
1) Change how you think. Most of the time it requires conscious effort on your part, sustained over months or years; although if being poor has you depressed and you win the Powerball, that can give you an instantaneous new outlook. Cognitive behavioral therapy has proven vastly more effective than any drug.
2) The route Bill Zeller took. For some people that's their only way out of misery and suffering, and the rest of us need to learn how to respect their choice on an individual and societal level.
