I fear my post may have offended you. To clarify, I agree that far too many people medicate their lives to 'even it out', and was not suggesting that route for you. My point was that IF someone finds themselves in a true depression, not just a blue mood, discussing it with a counselor can really help to clarify and redirect ones thoughts. A close family member of mine, years ago suffered a real depression, saw a psychologist for a short time without medication, and has never had a return of the depression.
If this does not apply to you, I'm very glad.
