Do You Think There Was Depression and Anxiety “diseases” Around Say a Couple Hundred Years Ago?
Question by Left Footed: Do you think there was depression and anxiety “diseases” around say a couple hundred years ago?
Or is it just becoming “popular” so to speak now because of all the new meds out there?
And I’m not trying to be sarcastic, I have been on my share of depression drugs, which have worked tremendously well by the way. (that along with talk therapy) I resisted the drugs at first, but when I couldn’t get out of bed in the morning to go to work or would just cry at a drop of a dime, my doctor finally convinced me to give Zoloft a try due to a “chemical imbalance”. Damn, I’m glad I finally listened to him, it saved my life, literally!
