You have been diagnosed with depression by a psychiatrist. You are now a part of millions of people who are also diagnosed with depression. Your depression has some very real observable symptoms. Those symptoms are what are used to make a diagnosis of depression. Those same symptoms are what pharmaceutical laboratories use to design medication that can alleviate those symptoms. You will be given a prescription for one of those special medications used to treat depression. Your medications are very dangerous drugs if used by anyone else other than yourself. You should take your medication as prescribed and should not leave your medication accessible by others in your family.
