I am not a doctor, I haven't studied this at all, I have a brother in law who anti-depressants helped emmensly, but...
I think you should be depressed, given the circumstances (which I only know what I've read and then through my faulty filters and memory). Depression isn't always bad. Clinical depression may be, but Damn, this is sad stuff. If you don't feel sad, your crazy.
Maybe you should get a second opinion.
I've enjoyed my sadness. It's mine. It't taught me so much.
Give it some thought. Take the workshop, read the books, but maybe wait to take the pills until you're sure you need to.
I can't believe I'm giving medical advice, and I'd quickly advise someone to see a doctor and find out if the were clinically depressed, but maybe a second opinion? Just a thought. Take it from the source and for what it's worth.
