[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would think about finding someone you can talk to, but I would discount the idea of medication. It may be for the short term, counseling may be sufficient, but why suffer unnecessarily? Depression isn't a character flaw and anti-depressants are much healthier overall than over-eating and drinking alcohol more. When I've been better able manage by depression which included meds, finding comfort in food or alcohol was less appealing. [b]ADHD runs in families and there's often co-morbidity with depression. It may not be an anti-depressant that you need. GL [/b] [/quote] +1 Alcoholism and ADHD/anxiety/depression runs in our family. Not good having a greatuncle, mother, etc. who were drunks. Self-medicating is not a good solution when there are better medications available. I am a much happier person on Ritalin and not a drunk.[/quote]
