Pills may not be the answer to depression !

Several years ago, I suffered from mild bouts of depression. Nothing earthshaking, no thoughts of committing suicide but it was frightening. In the beginning, they occurred only once a year, lasted for 4 or 5 days and went away without any medication. But as time went by, they got worse, lasted longer and I started to fear them. There was no reason for it medically or mentally, work and home life was great, no financial worries. I avoided medication on purpose although the temptation to acquire get well pills was sometimes overwhelming. After reading up on depression and different methods of dealing with it, stumbled on EFT by chance and tried it. And hallelujah, it did the trick and in record time as well.Which brings me to the news I got a few days ago from Mark Hyman MD, a doctor from the US who is heavily involved with eating disorders.Have reproduced it down below, including his video link. Have checked it out from different sources on the net and a lot of networks have mentioned this problem. Seems that treating depression with drugs or with a placebo has similar results. I am not qualified to point fingers at the pharmaceuticals and besides, these companies spend a fortune on research and that has to be paid. No argument with that. But it suddenly does not seem so silly to try out alternative ways of overcoming depression. However, read the blog from Dr.Hyman below, or watch the video on his site and check it out for yourselves. Why Antidepressants Don’t Work for Treating Depression
