Antidepressants, along with counseling, are normally effective in treating depression. However, WebMD reports that, “many people who could benefit from an antidepressant never try one.”
Even though many people are uneasy with the idea of antidepressants, “six out of 10 people treated with antidepressants feel better with the first one they try.”
WebMD reports the most common fears people have with antidepressants, and the facts that might change your outlook on them.

The real cure for depression and anxiety are:
1. Adequate vitamin D levels. Almost everyone is deficient, and is a major cause of depression. Around 3000 IU Vitamin D3 per day in the winter is about right.
2. 10-15 minutes of exercise per day. This alone has been proven more effective than antidepressants.
3. Omega 3 fats. Flaxseed oil is a great source of it.
4. Having a social network. Get lots of HUGS!! There is a ton of scientific support for the effects of hugs on well being.
5. Lower your standards. Don’t expect perfection out of everything about you. You are imperfect–accept yourself the way you are.
6. Find your purpose in life, set goals, and work towards those goals. A purposeful life you work towards is a powerful depression killer.
6. Calcium, magnesium, b-complex vitamins can be helpful.
