- Lex,
Mental health is really more than mind over matter. Especially when you consider that your "mind" is a machine powered by electronic impulses and a delicate chemical balance.
I am living proof that the correct combination of exercise, counseling and medication can have huge impact on a person's depression.
Snoozan and SpeedoMike-- thank you for your openness and information.
Tripod--I know you to be better than than how you are presenting in this thread. I want you to really consider what some real people with real struggle are trying to help you understand by sharing their experiences.
NJQT-- your hubby's reaction to your being on meds was a symptom of his own ignorance and lack of understanding. Nothing more. I was happily married for 10 years and dysthymic for most of it and depressed for some of it. I had a loving wife who supported me, believed in me, and challenged me to find help for myself. There are people out there who understand.
