I have had bouts of depression at stressful times in my life and think most people have too.

Don't ask for the happy pills, the depression is 'doing you good'
I must admit that I only took such pills for a very short time because the side effects were worse than the depression.

I have to agree with you on the pill front Margaret, they once tried to put me on Prozac, I only took one and I was crawling up the wall tearing my hair out. As for depression being good for you, well it was a scientist who said it, maybe he's going through a "mid-life crisis
