It's not always easy to think clear in some cases of depression. Throwing meds into the mix and not taking them properly doesn't help either.

It doesn't help that most doctors nowadays tend to try to rush you in and out of the office and do not spend the time with a patient that he or she requires. That includes diagnosing a patient and explaining the medication or other type of therapy. Sometimes I think doctors look at their patients like cattle. The person that recommended NOT taking St. John's Wort and suggested to see another doctor if his wasn't helping was dead on.

Since he asked the question I figured that he would come back to check. Doesn't matter to me whether or not it should be obvious. I just like to help people no matter what. And of course I have to remain somewhat general in terms of the medical advice that I deal out. But at the same time a depressed person always needs to hear that somebody gives a damn, so I added a little more, but still made it clear that he should go see his doctor.

It's all good.
