For all you arm chair psychiatrists, please don’t lump all issues under one category “depression”. There are many issues that women are afflicted with ranging from stress, anxiety, panic attacks to full blown depression.
In addition, without knowing what is happening behind the closed doors of each individual family how dare you make choizek, judge or even comment about what even one women needs to do to cope with whatever she has to juggle. Aside from her own chemical and hormonal balance, there can be many variables that come into play including spouse, parents, in-laws, children, siblings, in-law siblings, job, neighbors, finances, community, health, weight, self-esteem, self-confidence, LACK OF SLEEP, etc., etc, ….need I go on? There are many reasons why a doctor will prescribe something to take the edge off and help a patient cope. And there are many reasons why a patient would be stressed, anxious find themselves falling into panic attacks or even falling into depression.
