text: Can't give you advise on meds but.......\nI been in psych wards and rehabs and some meds etc etc.\nserious boozer...recovering alcoholic....I could go on and on for pages but I will keep this short.\n\nI would urge you to read a chapter in a book called "Churchills Black Dog, Kafkas Mice"....by Anthony Storr(sic?)\nChurchill was so frequently afflicted by depression he had a name for it...\nTHE BLACK DOG....\nHis forebears had depressive tendencies.\n\nwhat I took away from the book is...if Churchill was not somewhat nuts...England would be the smallest province of the GERMAN EMPIRE and American would be the breadbasket of the Reich.\n\nMany artists and creative people have depressive tendencies.\n\nI got mild form of depression...its constant ...almost all the time...sometimes I have suicidal ideation....sometimes I am almost euphoric...I trust neither of these feelings....its biochemical and genetic\n\nso I commiserate with you ..\n\nmeds are a drag and depression is a drag...\nbut the chapter in the book I mentioned...the one about Churchill gave me new perspective.\n\ngood luck
