Completely agree. The forces of the medical establishment have been trying to get me to take antidepressants. I have so far resisted. Among other things, I asked one of the doctors what percentage of people he's dealt with have simply started taking them and it becomes part of their routine basically for the rest of their life (which is what I've mostly observed) and what percentage take it for a short time and then are done with it because it fixed their life situation for them (which is the scenario he was describing as what might happen to me).

He didn't really address the question directly, which to me was plenty illuminating as to the answer.
