I hated the idea of therapy as a sign of some lack of mental fortitude.
However, I've seen various forms of talking therapy help several people close to me and my prejudice has evaporated.
Not all doctors will immediately bung you on Prozac.
If you have seasonal issues, try Hypericum (St John's Wort) they sell it at Tesco for hardly any money, and it's tested in clinicals as about as effective as Prozac, but without the dificulty to give it up later that is reported by a minority of Prozac users.
