Close Depression
: Clinical (Major) DepressionI have struggled with several bouts of major depression, some of which I made it through without medication, and usually with 5-10 year remission. This last one was followed by a relapse a year later due to a tramatic event. I have trouble tolerating a lot of the meds, and have just started on Wellbutrin today. Here's hoping!!I am a strong believer in using tools other than medication as well.
