"three years ago following somr major life changes i became depressed for the first and only time in my life....so far at least! out of now i began to feel more and more isolated and detached from everyone around me and could find no happiness in anything.... despite embarking on a new relationship with a lovely person i continued over a few months to spiral downwards until thoughts of suicide started to become appealing as a solution. i spoke to a trusted colleague and considered therapy but decided, without much hope, to see my doctor. my doctor prescribed citalopram which i took over the next few months....10mg tablets..   ...all i can say is that it worked. gradually the feelings of dismay and helplessness eased until i felt....normal. x"
