As someone who has suffered longterm depression and is currently on medication, I'd have to say I'm biased, as lurkette did. However, I didn't get meds as a quick fix; I avoided them for years and years because I thought people just got on them because they were feeling "down" and I didn't want to do that. However, they have helped me tremendously. I am actually coming off of them after my current prescription is up; I feel that after a year I am ready to again take life on without meds.
I think the whole Brooke Shields/Tom Cruise thing is utterly ridiculous. No one should be basing decisions on their mental health based on what celebrities say. Every person needs to find out what is best for THEM, not what is best for another person. I really don't even know why this is newsworthy; perhaps it's a slow season for things that actually matter, not just a celebrity feud?
