    My doctor told me that i was depressed it wasn't my idea and then the meds pushed me even lower to the point of attempted suicide. Yeah what a laugh it's party time around me everyday. It's so easy to judge others when you don't have a clue what you're talking about.

      I agree. Many people committed suicide when given anti depressants. Prozac I believe was very dangerous to take. Del Shannon was given these … he put a shotgun in his mouth.

      Yeah, I refuse to take antidepressants for that reason. I was 24 when prescribed 150mg of sertaline. The doctor bare in mind would have known under 25s on antidepressants have a higher suicide rate. So I stopped taking them and refused to since. They aren't a cure and I have enough medications for my other problems without becoming a walking pharmacy.

    They don't understand how anxiety and depression affects people I lost my mother October 2020
    And I didn't get help until September 2023 where I was suffering with extreme anxiety and serve depression
    And I got no help and I lost one Job due to being in and out of work
    And I'm now on a zero-hour contract
    Depression is crippling unless you have suffered it you don't understand it

      I did have a job in my early 20s, I lasted 8 weeks,the run upto Christmas it was getting busier, I had panic attack while serving a customer and they left with (at the time) a £30 leather purse (probably worth 50 now) and I got the hoof. Went on benefits after that,a guy came out to see if I a really needed them and said within 3 minutesof meeting me he knew I could not cope with people at all. I could barely leave the house by myself, while now I am able to leave the house, it's only to feed the horses which I bought to help force me to go outside and thus have fresh air and hopefully improve my mental health. When it's just me and the horse in the arena I am like an entirely different person, compared to when people are arriving to see to their horses. There are some I can talk to for a short while now. So it is improving (it's taken 8 years and will probably take at least another 8 before I'm anywhere near ready to have a job where I have to deal with people) others will say "work from home" but id still hace to do phone calls and web chats whoch i cannot do. I still can't phone the doctor or dentist myself to book an appointment. I have to take the phone through to my mother and have her do it, she also has to come with me and sit in the appointments.

    The UK has a culture of "medical victimhood". Too many people want benefits for these flimsy diagnoses. We are all depressed and anxious at times in our lives - its part of the human condition. Some of us just suck it up and get on with life. Others collapse in a heap and expect the taxpayer to support them.
