Now guys,
before you read what I have to say, take this into account:
Depression is NOT a bad week or a bad "spell" you are going through.
Real depression is when it lasts for years.
To a degree this area concentrates on the Safety aspect of Health and Safety Discussion, I would like to throw a spanner in that works and say look at the Health issues.
OK having said that, there is a certain stigma around in society, about those that take pills for depression, the movies are to blame for people actively popping tranquilisers, in large amounts.
Sure we may be a medicated society, but these pills do help.
I've been on Prozac for the last 18 years and are just getting off them, not an easy thing to do.
Before you start to call me a druggy, realise that all Prozac does is enables serotonin to be released inside the brain, these are the receptors that enable electrical signals to pass through the synapses of the brain cells.
In a depressed person that does not happen.
Now,
the effects of that can be widely ranging, from a person that has no get up and go, to a person that just want's to kill themselves.
I've heard it before (and can agree with it)
Depression is like a Black Cloud that always rains on you, it never goes away until you do something about it.
One thing about Mental Health though:
Know me before you judge me
I'd like discussion on this issue.
