I have been finally started working on my life long depression with a trained therapist, and our process doesn't include any medication at all. Just a lot of talking and feeling and expressing. It's one of the best decisions I've been ever made. YMMV, people might say mine wasn't real depression, but there is more than just medication. It helps, but often times like Tylenol helps: the headache is still there, you just don't feel it anymore. Medication being the only solution to all of mental illness is a very American view of the matter. And by American I mean prescription-happy.
