Dude. Knock it off. Would you take ibuprofen for a headache? When you get old will you take benazepril for your high blood pressure? There is NO shame in taking medication for depression. It's a medical condition related to low seratonin. The drugs can help and you don't have to take them forever. I speak from experience

Depression is not JUST a medical condition related to low serotonin. It CAN be. That doesn't mean that it always is, or even is in the majority of cases. There are about a billion reasons for depression to manifest itself in a young adult, and only one of those billion reasons is low serotonin.
There are many ways that we can alter our own brain chemistry, just by altering our thoughts (and thereby the chemical pathways they frequent). I don't take ibuprofen for headaches, either. I can MAKE them go away.
