Question by Allways Minus: can i beat depression on my own terms ?
Im mentally tough, ive dealt with lots of stress over 15 years. Lots of it is my fault, as i dont believe in caving in too stronger people.

But now my wife has started to harass me. Fighting at home is not what im built for. First time in my life i have been severely depressed. I cant concentrate, i cant work, i cant sleep, i cry a lot in private, im ripped apart that my wife of 14 years may leave me.

My psychiatrist prescribed cipralex – but as a practice i never take drugs. I think i shud do this. Plesae tell me if you agree.
