  • That's the official data on the medication.

    • Yeah I know that, it says the same crap on the side of my meds box. I just think it makes no sense that if a person is depressed to tell the doctor that already knows they are depressed that they feel depressed... How are you meant to differentiate between a chemical depression or a natural depression, when depressed?

      Actually, after writing that it's no fucking wonder, I'm surprised we're all not crazy. ._.

      • It means if you feel more depressed.

      • I figured it meant a different kind of depression... such as stronger, or perhaps a scarier feeling to it.

        Plus there's the addendum about suicidal thoughts. There's some medical thought that anti-depressants could actually encourage suicide. The idea is that the patient is originally too depressed to get the motivation to kill themselves... until they got on medication, whereupon they may gain enough motivation and energy to go through with it.

        Also, if you're still depressed on medication it could be a sign that it's not working. With behavioral medications, finding the right one and the right dosage can be a bit trial-and-error, even now.
