Sleepyjack, if you can use music to pull you out of the doldrum you ain't clinically depressed and your right you shouldn't be on anti depressants. When you are truly depressed music won't help, money won't help, sex won't help nothing helps. I always stayed away from any kind of drugs. I had to be hurting bad to take an aspirin. In the job I had before this one, half the staff was taking some kind of meds, but I took what they threw at me and continued to function with out any kind of medical help. Then I started a new job. The only think I wanted to do was sleep. I had to force myself to do even the simplest of tasks. I had a lot of physical symptoms to go with it. Suicide became one of the primary thoughts in my head. Finally I got so bad I had to do something so I allowed my wife to make an appointment for me. I am much better now. So even though anti-depressants are over used and abused they are a true life saver to some.
