From my experience the antidepressent/antianxity drugs can make you more
receptive to counceling and other treatments so they will have a greater chance
of sucsess.

The drugs may allow you to break through the barrier and make more social
contact especially when combined with counceling.

I strongly agree that the drugs on their own will not solve the problem if you
do not change.


In the UK, most NHS [National Health Service] GPs are often unable to give much
patient attention and prescribe antidepressents on their own. I was lucky and
was reffered to the young persons section of the local hospital, which provides
a better level of support and monitering [the first type of antidepressent I
tryed had side effects on me].

There is a website [provided by NHS direct] on depression that lists many
antidepressent medicines and other depression related topics. It may be useful
for somebody. It is avaliable on
