This is good news because most anti depressant medication is only effective for a few years time. After that point, a new anti depressant medication may be introduced. Thank you for an honest and informative essay. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8868734206674872701.post-41698372319916411252015-10-01T18:25:44.857+05:302015-10-01T18:25:44.857+05:30Thanks Suvankar, Dr. Murali, Tulika and Dr. Tanay ...Thanks Suvankar, Dr. Murali, Tulika and Dr. Tanay for taking interest in the article and sharing your views. In my opinion, it is only through such open dialogues that we will eventually be challenging the stigma associated with mental illnesses. Lets join our efforts together in this. <br />@Tulika: I understand what you may have felt during your illness.

And you have done it seamlessly and flawlessly..amazing work! Very helpful and encouraging attempt. Thanks for sharing your ideas and experiences on depression. <br /><br />Everyone has their own battles to fight in life. Like other challenges, battling depression is definitely a humongous task for many. For long-term depression or chronic depression, I believe this battle is a matter of continuous effort. <br /><br />Depression, with its different forms, is still a big mystery to me when it comes to operate in the environment. Some people pretend that they are tough enough to handle situations in their life but are not for real when depressed. Some are highly demotivated but never stop motivating others in the time of crisis. Therapists may call them defense mechanisms, the different ways of handling or dealing with pain without being aware of using it. I think differences in personality factors play role in depression as well. <br /><br />And no wonder why men/women are afraid to talk about their depression! I remember getting mixed reactions from people after telling them that I have depression. I received reactions like- ‘you are not serious’, ‘you have the luxury to think that way, you look pretty fine to me’..and others would give suggestions to seek help from different sources. Usually people take things quite easily if it's related to chronic health diseases like asthma, hypothyroid, high blood sugar or other ailments. But for mental illness, the mental-set is so different- if you are having depression and you are under medication then it's like you are being charged with a crime. So sometimes, to me the emotional inertness works as a shield against such emotionally stupid and ignorant responses. Moreover, it helps to feel fine and safer. <br /><br />Anyway, thanks for penning down your thoughts on depression so beautifully. Your view points and encouraging words of advice will surely help the readers, that includes me of course. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8868734206674872701.post-82868992963701255652015-09-29T14:37:38.591+05:302015-09-29T14:37:38.591+05:30Very well written in a simple to understand style....Very well written in a simple to understand style.

The mind shuts down to the extent of zeroing in on what's absolutely a necessity after an anxious hyperactive phase much like we give a blank stare gasping for air after running for thirty minutes at one go. suvankarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14534097956186032311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8868734206674872701.post-873058919351915162015-09-27T12:44:50.437+05:302015-09-27T12:44:50.437+05:30Thanks Anu, Arjun, Ballari & Kuntal for taking...Thanks Anu, Arjun, Ballari & Kuntal for taking out time to read this article and encouraging me to continue this journey...
