[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 483366, member: 13739"] Well I never really accepted that looking at ink blots etc. is what actually heppened. But can anyone confirm or deny that therapy is a widely used 'tool' in America? I'm not sure the "zombie" effects of anti-depressants are a myth. My gf was put on quite strong anti-depressants a few years back, and she reported severe zombie like effects. They really don't react well with some people (she never got along with them), and they simply should not be the automatic first port of call as treatment imo. Unfortunately prescribing some meds is easier, cheaper and in the short term probably more effective for most people. However teaching people how to deal with depression (and related mental condition such as anxiety) would be a much more effective long term treatment that could help prevent future episodes (and possibly save lives). It's important to teach sufferers the early signs, which can be missed, or ignored, and the best way to deal with them quickly and efficiently. Meds teaches people nothing. [/QUOTE]
