That's a lot for me to think about right now, as I'm on medication holiday and really depressed. However, I also found out I have low thyroid, so maybe Dr. H. will see what thyroid medication does for the depression, since he's the one who decided to wean me off my meds and then revisit the idea of medication tomorrow.

For myself, yes, there's something obviously chemical going on. How much is thyroid and how much is neurochemistry, who knows at this point? Therapy has never done much for me. Lexapro was a godsend, as was Celexa (which I went on only because it was cheaper) to a lesser extent. Don't know why he put me on Trazodone, but glad I'm off of it.

That's not to say that there aren't issues to deal with, but dealing with them is less effective without medication of some type.

Just so you know, though, I'm hoping that thyroid meds help the moods without the need for an actual antidepressant.

I don't know if that makes any sense.
