Anti-depression pills have side effects as my uncle takes anti-depression tablets. I would recommend you don't take take any pill unless you at risk of life.

i need to divert my attention that's all. but the problem is that nothing is interesting me at all. even my hobbies. i will keep myself away from any such medication though, i don't think that they are the solution. thanks for your advice.

i know the reason i am depressed. but i will take the advice and try to develop an interest in something. i know i am not going anywhere by staying like this.

Spend more time with people (if you don't already), and try out new things (even if you aren't interested in it). I think the solution to depression is finding out why you are depressed. Why are you depressed? What has happened in your life to cause this? Is it something recent? Pills are not the answer in my opinion, I believe they only cause a temporary lift, and not good in the long term. Try look at some home remedies for depression, try Googling "depression remedies" Good luck!

Don't take the pills! They have half a dozen bad side effects and are addictive... despite doctors telling you otherwise. You just need to talk to yourself. Give yourself some motivation. When I suffer from depression... and contemplate leaving this life... I tell myself "If you are going to do that... you got nothing to lose. Take a chance... and go for what you want." And I usually get what I want... which makes life worth living again. Pills are only a suppressant to make you forget about your sh*tty life. They don't cure you... nor will they fix your life. Only you... can fix your life. And you cannot do that while being zonk out on a pill.

maybe you should see first your doctor before taking any pills, or if you are really afraid of taking up pills there are lots of alternative ways where you can fight your depression, the first thing you need to do is keep away that thing than depresses you... would you believe it if i say there a allotted times for depression to think about??? that is what i usually do... if my depression is at school, i make sure that when i go out to school i leave my depression there. just dont think too much... chill!

it's just that i am living alone these days and my friends cannot come-by either. and there are matters that have been in my head lately and i simply cannot get them out that easily either. i think i should just pick up my art-pad. thank you for responding.
