I'm not that sure whether I believe that the anti-depressants work. I think it's all a scam in the pharmaceutical industry, that probably kinda works with the placebo affect. If somebody has a real deep seated issue, I don't think any drug can just magically make it go away.

In my past, I have found that the biggest reason I feel sad and depressed is because I feel like I have nobody to talk to, or hang out with, and just generally feel lonely in the world. It is these days, when I had nobody to talk to or hang with, that I felt like I really was "depressed", even though nothing was REALLY wrong in my life.

But generally, I have found the answer to be to go out more, do more things with friends, and just try to understand that shit happens in life, and you can either deal with it and move on, or sit and worry about it constantly.
