I think people can overcome depression without meds. Actually meds make people sick.They relax people but they decrease the ability to think, act , move while you are using them. If you think you can overcome without meds try. On the other hand if patient is in too bad condition may be he/she thinks suicide ,meds should be used to overcome these periods.
Yes! one can over come depression.
The medication prescribed by the phychiatrist will keep the nervous system stabelised but the individual has to change their way of thinking.
The Bible says a thought can make or break you .
You are in control of the decisions you make you can choose to be happy or choose to be miserable.
It will take a little time but each time a good decision is made from a position of strength the individual will advance one more step to health.
It is a minute by minute process.
it may appear to be hard at first but perseverance will bring results!
I don't believe depression is something you "overcome". Depression is a disease like any physical one. I've been on meds for 6 years now and if I tried it with out them I wouldn't last 2 days w/o getting upset, mad, or just plain yuk feeling. I don't believe depression is a mind over matter issue, it's nothing that can be fixed by talking, It's a chemical imbalance of the brain, and being so you will need melds of some kind.
Pregnancy actually cured my depression.. I think whatever works for the person. If they feel better and function better on the meds, go on them, but if you can't function normally and feel real emotion without the meds, then don't go on them. If there is any alternative, try to avoid the meds.
