Do you favor the use of anti-depressant drugs?

I would say, unless you are suffering from a sever case, doctors should not prescribe anti-depressants for general depression. Depression caused by chemical inbalance is however a different story, in which case you can not fix it your self and need the medication to sort out your emotions, thaughts etc... I suffer from Bipolar disorder so I don't really have much of a choice in the matter. Getting the right mixture of medication is usually very difficult. Eventually you need to compromise between feeling better and the side-effects the pills give you.
