   Actually, I can relate completely. I was depressed for many years, Had a   
   very short course of antidepressants and found my way. The doctor was   
   horrified that I took myself off them so soon, but a month was   
   sufficient for me to find a different perspective on life that was   
   substantially less self destructive. YMMV, of course.
