I am not scared of depression - I learnt to cope with it. Its the attitudes that surround it that I find difficult. Anyway since I started LCing my mood-swings have all but disappeared.

I haven't, or hadn't until now, heard of Lemack. How awful. I think anyone suffering from depression is capable of doing the unthinkable. There were times when I would get really angry but my instinctive response was to retreat, do nothing until the anger passed. When one is taking drugs those inhibitions are bypassed and the unimaginable comes to pass.

Should not the doctors who are allegedly the experts take some responsibility for what their prescription is doing to their patients?

It is frightening. People do get nervous and shy away. As if by not acknowledging the problem it will go away.

How do we go about changing these attitudes? And providing real help where it is needed, WHEN it is needed.

Take care.
