[QUOTE="CoastWatcher, post: 137043, member: 2624"] I think it all depends on so many factors. I knew why I was depressed: friends had died, and my own health was threatened by an unexpected flare of some long dormant problems. I reacted to that; I slipped into the grip of depression. My doctor, who manages my TRT protocol, and the therapist, both said it was "Situational Depression" A combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and strong, strong emotional support was thought to be sufficient - as a first, good-faith effort. It was. It's not that SSRIs are "bad" drugs. I believe in many cases they are life-savers. But the decision to hold off, though certainly not without risk, was the right one in this case. [/QUOTE]
