Good points on all sides. However it would be nice if some folks besides Ian who had some successes with a non-meds. approach would put in their views if they've had success. Unfortuntalely any such creatures arent' about, however if you look at my last posting in the book section I refer to an on-line book by Julian Simons a distinguished economist who claims to have beaten years of depression via a cognitive approach. So...meds are not necessarily the only answer...

Ian, I am sorry you were traumatized by the experience of being put on meds at 13 against your will. But your experience does not speak to many of us who have been helped by meds... It just doesn't generalize as well as you think it does.
