why do people decriminate you when you tell them you take anti- depressants for postnatal depression. does it class me as crazy or what?

People fear it, and do not understand it... No, you are not crazy unless you like and want to use that title. :) lol .. Never let others define who you are by your illnesses. Depression is no different then having to take meds for heart disease or cancer. It's a health problem, and it is one many do not understand yet. However, 1 out of every 3 Americans suffer from some from of depression. So remember you are not alone. Take care, .. and just keep doing your work as best as you can. Do not let what others say get to you.. :) .
