Life-long depression
by: ADY on Wed, May 20 2009

I have had depression at least since grade 10. My mother was not aware of it because I had a social life. I probably was depressed a lot earlier considering the upheaval in my home. I did not seek treatment until college; those attempts were futile. I did not get any help until Prozac came out; when the Prozac petered out I was put on Lexapro and Wellbutrin, a great combination for me. I have been told I have a chemical imbalance and will be on depression meds the rest of my life. I now am battling a brain cancer and need all the help I can get, though my mood is okay.
