Depression is a hard one to gauge. Is it a natural imbalance in the brain? Is it caused by emotional instability? What can you do to fix it? Personally, I've been diagnosed with depression, bordering on the severe level, and I know hands down that medication won't fix it. It's not a brain problem. I know my depression is emotional in nature, and it will be resolved when the time is right. I'm not a fan of medications, partly because of the lack of true knowledge as to the cause, and partly because it prevents the body from strengthening against what may be attacking it.
