I've been depressed a lot, but I don't like the ideas of fighting chemical imbalances with other chemicals. It just seems ham handed and should be more of a last resort that doctors treat them. Head medications do bad things to people. That being said, some time you don't really have a choice.
For example I knew a girl in high school who took a proscription for ADD. She was very nice, but it did mess her up, especially when she went on and off it. I'm a little ADD and OCD (mild Tourette's)? If I really felt like I had to fight it, I would much rather use something natural like marijuana than some crazy quick fix cooked up in a lab. People need to realize that pretty much everybody had some kind of ADD or OCD, and that does not make necessitate special treatment or medication. There are some extreme cases, but most of the people medicating for it are not those people. Oversubscribing for things most people have had to work out on their own up until now anyway is just stupid.
Wait, what? Do you know what depression is? Depression is not being sad/angsty about something.
