How can I 'cure' my depression without drugs? OK. I have given a lot of thought to the idea of experience, life & what depression means in the very recent past. I have decided ultimately that I can't handle simply submitting to the depression, because while I like the viewpoint I know it holds me down - but also I can't do the drug route. I just can't, it doesn't work, it makes me uncomfortable and ultimately more anxious & depressed. And you know, really, I can't do the therapy route, either, because you have no idea how uncomfortable that makes me, as well. I cannot and could not ever in any situation since I was born successfully express my true self verbally & I'm not suddenly going to sprout an ability to eloquently describe my emotions. Not to mention I have an embarrassing inclination to cry and it all just snowballs into this slightly traumatizing experience that I don't like. I really don't like. Therefore, I was wondering what alternative solutions there are for depression without just masking it with medication? And really, don't even say therapist or psychologist because my dad is one and he's done things to me that make me really not trust that whole... You know. I just can't. I mean, I have a hard enough time going to psych CLASS, I cannot deal with a psychologist. I'm not trying to say I can do it alone, but I have friends and family who I can trust. I just can't do the therapy thing or the drug thing, I really can't. I know that sounds weird and paranoid but I have my reasons and I can't. I have, indeed, actually been diagnosed with depression. And I have, indeed, previously been on medication for it. I've done all of that. I'm looking for something new but I'm also trying not to spill my whole history to you all which is why I've been a little scant.

What's the best way to handle depression without drugs? Lately I've been in a deep depression, this is the second time it's been this bad.

Thanks!

What's your opinion regarding current drugs used for depression and schizophrenia ? I mean I sometimes feel like the only effect of those medicines that is visible on patients is the sedative or (narcotic) effect . I sometimes doubt the exact mechanisms of the respective illnesses are addressed by these drugs , and their use is mainly directed at producing a generally quiet state in the patient , in a way that is so inaccurate that is reminiscent of electric shock therapy . Do you ever have the same feeling ? Why don't antipsychotics reverse schizophrenia and result in the person having a normal quality of life , like antidepressants sometimes do for depression patients ? Don't you think there obviously is more to the problem than a mere " chemical imbalance " , that causes one to be excessively sad , angry , paranoid , unreactive etc ?? Bear in mind I said " I feel " , meaning it is an impression . I am familiar with the traditional neurotransmitter abnormality explanation . However I can't say that I have seen many people with schizophrenia who benefitted from pharmacotherapy . In fact , I know 2 sisters who killed themselves in spite of being on treatment . I also remember one young man who presented with paranoia and violent tendencies , I saw him when he was brought in , then I saw him next day , with part of the hair on his head shaved after he had ECT , it was SCARY , the guy was walking around like a zombie , drooling and with a vacant look on his face . I began to have serious doubts about both the diagnosis standards and the treatment . For example , I failed to comprehend exactly how these people were organically ill , since many of their complaints were common to any person who has been through stressful or painful events in life , although in less severe forms .

Is the lethal nature of some antidepressant drugs enough to cure depression itself? "A persistent decline in the rate of Americans, especially children, newly diagnosed with depression followed the first federal warning on risks connected with antidepressant drugs, a study suggests."
