I'm pretty sure that it has never been scientificly proven that anti-depressants work for kids. Atleast thats what I learned in my child psychopathology class. I dont know what the cut off is for that though. Feeding your kids anti-depreeents is a bad idea, they have known this for a long time, but my guess is that pharm. companys just want to push their product.

 
heres a funn thing to do, go into walmart ask where the gun section is, and then when you hav a gun out and ur lookin at it, ask them where the antidepressants are.

They are retarded. it is like 'CURES DEPRESSION!!...some side effects are suicide.'

anti-depressants are fucking horrible. i felt even more depressed when i was taking them. not to mention the side effects.

Whatever. Antidepresants do work. I have seen it in my family. Not every kid responds the same way so sometimes they dont work as well as they would with other people, but dont be stupid and say that they dont work period.

I just would never ever want to take those things.. they just dont seem that good for you. There were alot floating around my house when my dad passed away but I think its much better if you can deal with the problem yourself instead of relying on drugs. Some people cant though and I guess drugs are good for them.

Its not for when you are just feeling down. Depression can actually be an illness that people deal with their whole lives. You can't 'just deal with it' by yourself.

And actually youre wrong, you can just deal with depression and find ways of getting over it aside from taking pills. Id only suggest pills as a last option. But hell this is only my third year at college studying this shit so what would I know...A tenth grader must know much more.

seriously, some of you guys are so fucking ignorant, it makes me sick. ive been on anti depressants since freshman year for various reasons. they started giving me placebeos, and i was on those for about 6 months, and nothing happened. when i found out that thats what they were giving me, i was pissed. so they put me on prozac. that worked for about a year. I was in a good mood for a lot of the time, i wasnt getting into trouble and all was well. but then slowly over time, they started having a reverse affect on me. i was sad again, i was getting in fights with my family and i started cutting again. so i went to my dr and asked why this was happening, and he told me that prozac can have that reverse affect that i was experiencing. so he put me on paxil. cancer paitents use it during treatment. im still on that, and for the most part, i am happy with it. ive never had any side affects like the minor ones that can occure such as weight gain, increase in appetite, vommiting, headaches, or anythng like that. but see, ALL MEDICATIONS HAVE THOSE SIDE AFFECTS!

depression is a chemical imbalance in your body. yes, a lot of teens make shit up to get attention, and thats fucked up. but i know plently of people who definatly need what they take.

Dspin, go fuck yourself. Who gives a shit if you have been studying this for three years in college. If that actually is the truth, you need to study it for a lot longer because you are still clueless. My sister has a mental illness named Aspergers Syndrome. Its where she cant focus on anything and it is impossible to connect with other peoples feelings and a whole slew of other problems, but one of the main things is that she gets depressed chronically due to a chemical imbalance. She takes Paxil every morning and it steadies out her levels making it so she can function as a normal human being. If she doesnt take it one morning, everyone can tell right off the bat because she cant function at all, but with it, it is hard to notice that she has any problems. She was getting almost straight F's in school before she took them, but now she is getting all A's and B's. So long story short, antidepressants can really give peoples lives back to them.

I have a degree in psychology. Clinical depression is( a generic term for major depression) not a thing you get over, it is a part of your life. Clinical depression is serious shit, there is huge diffrence between being depressed and having clinical depression, I think people are getting these two things mixed up.

You can go to A psychology library(if you go to college), or maybe a public library look up the DSM-IV and it will give you the diagnostic criteria, or look up mood disorders.

they may work for some people but generally i think it's just not something to perscribe to young people. i've been on and off of anti-depressants and anxiety medications for a few years but personally, and i see it every day with many of my friends, it just doesn't do anything for you. anxiety, sure some of the stuff did help me out a little but as for anti-depressants... nothing. i see so many people I know just use the drug as a mental aid and someone talked about it before, a lot of people on anti-depressants could easily be switched to placebos and their 'depression' would go away. which may be fine for folks with situational depression but i think a lot clincal depression cannot be helped through medication.

Anyone who is on anti depressants is a loser just looking for attention. There is no such thing as depression or a reason for suicide, kids just do it to try to be popular or the 'cool one' in school.

it seems everyone has a different opion on this matter well here is mine, Antis dont make ur depression go away, they just make it so that there are more chemicals going to your body and brain that are to help make you happier and less sad. they do not take away pain, or get rid of depression they only make it easer to deal with things.

I was under the impression that they just raised serotonin levels in the brain... how that translates to negative side effects is beyond me, but then, I'm not a genius as Dspin7x clearly is. I mean, he's managed to make it through 3 years of college. Clearly a superior form of life. Show some respect, people.

um there is such a thing as depression, i am depressed alot i am not gonna lie, and i know alot of people who cut themselves because they are depressed and need attention and need help and need to be on anti depressed.

from what i beleave depression is caused by a hormonal disbalance in your brain, or something like that i am trying to remember the comercial i saw about a new drug coming out

And it makes me see, every puff that I breathe, potent herbs and leaves could ease the world . . .

So, We roll and smoke and choke and- pass and toke and hand it back to ya.
 
No, its not a hormonal 'disbalance'. And no depression doesnt exist, its just a made up term by drug companies to make money and for teenagers to get attention.

I've been clinically depresed for perhaps four or more years. Starting about a year ago, I began reading more introseptive works; Colin Wilson, Dostoyveski, Camus, Sartre, Nietzsche, Huxley, Hermann Hesse, Richard Dawkins, etc. Call it existenialism, philosophy, psychology, whatever you will. Basically, through an intellectual process I learned more about myself, and have been able to be happy ever since. Through a disiplined mental process, I can exercise control over my moods. If I feel depressed, I can change my mood.

After one break from skiing, I returned to Whistler, but with an enhanced mental poise from my brief sabatical in the city, I felt ready. For what? Well, to live as I believe I should. With the proper foundation, I felt I could get on with my life, and leave all the bullshit of my past depression behind. But there was one thing. While I was able to alter my state of mind for the better, it did take effort, a certain amount of meditation on myself. In life, we can't always take a couple minutes for self reflection before doing what there is to do. I felt that if anti-depressantscould raise my default level higher than before, I would be on a better footing with those around. My moments or happiness wound not be limited to times when I could take the time neccisary to raise my. So, after looking -to lttle avail- for information on anti-depressants, I went to see my doctor. He had blood tests done, to ensure the problem wasn't a lethergy due to low hemoglobin, or low iron, or something of the sort. After the blood tests came back about as normal as normal could be, he gave a two week sample of a daily 20mg dose of citalopram, an SSRI (trade name Celexa in Canada). He said it may take two weeks before I feel any effects, and upto four weeks, before the full effects are felt, if at all. One thing he explained is not all SSRIs work for everybody, so a person may have to try several different SSRIs before finding one that worked as it should. The only side effects was minimal and was limited to the first several days, a slight feeling of the uneasiness of nausea. Other than that, it's been clear sailing.

After taking the SSRIs for several months, I'm still not sure if they're working, but as soon as I get back to a stable lifestyle, I'm goning to stop using them to see if there was any difference. And while they didn't work like I was hoping they might, they have made things much better, as it only takes a second or two of brief concentration and I feel completely ''happy'', not at all depressed, down, or detressed.

A final note, when I made the decision to began taking anti-depressants, I was not at all excited by the prospect of a sudden change in my life. I was not desperatly hoping for life to change to a perfect euphoric utopian existence. I was looking for a minor supplement to counter-act a slight problem. SSRIs did not do anything for me that I could not do myself, but they have helped the effectiveness of an already effective system of self-knowledge and discipline that I have deliberatly developed in myself.

So, if you're thinking about anti-depressants, know that they won't do anything for you, but they may help you fight depression.

RE IrishDrink

let me quote you

'they started giving me placebeos, and i was on those for about 6 months, and nothing happened. when i found out that thats what they were giving me, i was pissed.'

so they switched you to placebos without your knowledge, right? and 'nothing happened' meaning you felt no change... which supports exactly what I said about anti-depressants being a mental aid to situational depression. and i'm not assuming you don't suffer clinical depression. but if there was no change from anti-depressants to placebos than the pills were obviously not helping you at all.
