I wanted to share this quote from an email sent to me by a woman in the UK who suffers from depression. It is so well put, and represents how a lot of us feel when it comes to taking medication:
[I was pleased with the] intelligent discussion on your Blog about the risk-benefit of antidepressants, amidst the relentless tide of scaremongering from "big pharma sponsored" psychiatrists warning people that they will inevitably relapse into bad mental health if we discontinue our medication and the scaremongering from "litigation sponsored" lawyers frightening us to death about inevitable child defects. There is nothing inevitable in life & people manage risks as well as they can.
Agreed.
