WHY Anti-depressants? When depression can be handled and even cured by
psychologists, counsellors etcetera. The side-effects of
Anti-depressants can lead to the worse side of even a normal person.
What do you think...?

I think most mental health professionals in 2004 can see the place for
both talk therapy and medications. The good psychiatrists I know all
recommend talk therapy, even if they are only managing the medications
in a particular patient.

I think you have no idea what you are talking about. Depression
cannot always be handled by talk therapy.
