I've been on Prozac for a while for depression. It really does make a difference in some ways. I see things more positively now and for me that was a big help.

Basically, it's the first step to improving your life yourself. Once you think more positively, you're more open, you do more things.

I still suffer from random depressions from time to time, but the intensity is much lesser and they occur much less often, because of Prozac. So I'm pretty satisfied with it.

>>14 For me, depression meant a lack of motivation to do anything constructive like that. I guess it's ok if someone forces you to do things for yourself, but you're still not going to feel fulfilled after doing these things because of your negative attitude.

***I think it's important for people realize depression can really be like any other disease. In many cases it's not something you can get rid of easily, like a cold, by sleeping more and waiting it out. In many cases, the only way to improve is to get medicine (Prozac etc) so you can fix the chemical issues and THEN start the road to full mental recovery, because Prozac alone is not a cure.***
