The anti-depressants I take helped bring some normality back to my once very limited lifestyle, by helping with anxiety, panic attacks, depression and phobias. They have literally saved my life. So I answered 'yes'.


I do think it's important to try and seek alternative means out to medication of course, and I had spent years trying everything from cognitive therapy to hypnotherapy. It's obviously better if you don't have to rely on tablets, but I just look at it like a diabetic has to take insulin I have an illness (depression) which needs medication. I've tried coming off the meds of course, when I had nothing to worry about, nothing to be stressed or depressed about and was the most secure and happy in a relationship and other areas of my life I could be, but once the anti-depressants were out of my system I was so ill again with depression and anxiety.
