Depression sucks.

And there's not a lot more than that to say.

My parents know a psychologist who does disability evaluations in Spokane, Washington.  When the subject of my foot trouble and the continuous pain came up in connection with applying for disability, he said, "Of course he's depressed.  Everyone who's in constant pain is depressed."

I hate that it's so hard to find joy in anything any more, or find sufficient motivation to do things.

:I don't think there is another variety of anti-depressive other than an SSRI.

Other classes include tricyclics and monoamine oxidase inhibitors.

I'm not saying he should take him, I'm just saying SSRIs aren't the only thing out there.

Pity about the drug reactions. Makes life ever so much harder.
