Remember, once someone prescribes for you an anti-depressant, you are required to have regular visits with the prescribing doctor and continue with the medication, usually for life! The American Psychiatric Association, still sells the public on the concept that depression is due to \u201cBiochemistry<\/a>: Differences in certain chemicals in the brain may contribute to symptoms of depression.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n
