I have to agree with you to that extent, that it is eventually how you live your life and take care of your problems that make depression manageable (or in best cases it goes completely away). What the tablets does in my case is give me the initial boost to get over my threshold, being able to deal with my depressing thoughts and get moving.
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
