I started taking anti-depression at the age of 15, and over the years my amount of pills has more than doubled. I also get a bit for sleeping on, and when I get a nervous breakdown I get some anti-psychotic. And I can tell you, that I have never been happier. I tried to kill my self twice, before they gave me pills, and a month after, I felt a bit of happiness for the first time in years.
Of course, I have been questioning if the drugs have changed who I am, but my parents tell me that I am more like I were before I got depressed. The pills didn't alter my mind or anything, they just put a lid on all my feelings. So yeah, you can question if children should /need/ medication at all, but you can't question my recovery. It's all real!
Do you take medication?
