Are you or someone that you know deals with depression? How did you or someone else overcome depression? Did you overcome depression without counseling or drugs?

I have dealt with depression since I was 17. I have taken antidepressants and they help. I have also learned the best thing is to make yourself be around others, even when you don't feel like it. Don't stay in bed all day because that doesn't help. I still deal with depresson and I have good days and bad days, but I still love life.

I have dealt with depression for the last two years. Most people don't even know that I deal with depression they just think I live a perfect life. I don't totally shut myself off from the world but I find it hard to be productive everyday.
