i cant talk for women because im just a man but what blabla and aries said is at least in my case 100% true. i suffered and still suffer from depressions and am taking meds. It took over a year and changing of psychiatrists to get to the meds that really worked. and of course im on therapy as well and the same applied for this as well: it took more than 2 therapists to find the right one. The issues can be widespread as mentioned above. getting off meds is not a simple thing to do. it has to be with the doc ur seein, slowly and most of all the right decision. i had my bad experience with it as well. meds are no solution its just a way to help you be able to deal with urself much better. distancing urself from the turmoil(or whatever it is) that your in. And yes many men take anti depressions.
