Hell, who isn't these days?<br /><br />I'm pointing out that people who think less of you just because you take them, are WRONG.<br /><br />Everyone needs help at times, and there is nothing wrong with that. The hard part is sometimes getting people who really need them to take them.<br /><br />In my practice I use the analogy comparing depression to diabetes, just like the pancreas isn't making insulin, your brain isn't making enough of this, and this meddication will help replace it, and so it's no different than a diabetic taking insulin. I find that example often helps people accept them.Grumpy, M.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09858110332436246760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7721171044050776789.post-70050126116866890022009-12-04T08:15:55.163-05:002009-12-04T08:15:55.163-05:00Hey, I'm on meds!
