Hi again Rose I talked to my Mum a bit about this today she is a mental nurse and works in a hospital. I did not mention your sitch at all but asked her what she thinks about meds and depression ect. On the whole she seemed to agree with what I said. She thinks medication is useful in it's place but other forms of therapy are also equally important. She also said it is important to talk to people for support and not bottle things up. She said the people who do not seem to improve are those who have a bad sitch in their life but for some reason are not willing to do anything about it, for example someone in a very unhappy M who is not willing to end it because they do not want to be alone. They are also people with a lot of anger and regrets about the past which they cannot let go. She also recommends moderate physical exercise as a counter to depression. Anyway thought you might like to know. Not related to depression but she is always on at me to take vitamin suppliments- and echinea for colds, don't know if it works but I do to avoid nagging.
