[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Question here. If someone realizes that depression is part of their makeup, consciously exercises or takes medication to minimize any effect and in reality they understand how to ive with it, would that take them out of any relationship potential?[/quote]

Not necessarily.  I have a friend who’s been on and off antidepressants pretty much all the time I’ve known him, since late teens.  He was very open about it with the women he dated, like bringing it up on the first date  Most ran away, but not all.  The one who eventually became his wife asked lots of questions, also on the first date, about what it means for him, etc, etc, even dosage (she is an MD).  She said she was OK with the answers, and they’ve been married for about 15 years now.  AFAIK, it’s a good marriage.[/quote]

PP.  Need to add that my friend has always been gainfully employed and lived on his own since finishing college, so whatever his issues, mooching wasn’t one of them.[/quote]
