Why shouldn't I be ashamed to take medication to treat depression?

Sometimes medication is necessary to treat depression. Listen, if you have an infection, you take an antibiotic. If you have a headache, you take a pain-reliever.

If you tear your ACL, you get it repaired. So if you have a chemical imbalance in your brain that's altering your mood and leaving you bluer than pen ink, you should get it treated. If your doctor thinks drugs are necessary, they will prescribe drugs that best match your symptoms.

Your doc may prescribe medication based on symptoms alone, or they may do further testing, like blood tests to insure you are not short on normal quantities of thyroid hormone and B12, which are linked to depression, as well as brain imaging in some cases.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
