It's also possible that antidepressants (and drugs of abuse) numb some part of your mind that's broken due to emotional trauma, and as a result you lose that part of your personality while it heals. Then, when you come off the drug, you're all better. It's like a kind of mental anesthetic. This could explain why many drug abuse problems spontaneously resolve. I'll admit this sounds kind of insane, but I'll also point out that we still really know so little about the actual workings of our own minds. Maybe we're misunderstanding the relationship between people and psychoactive drugs.
