How many people have been

good point, but mild depression from simple life stress isn't something that should be medicated in the first place - ithese are things people need to just take responsibility for on their own, in my opinion...

This brings up an interesting tangential question.

When, in fact, should depression be medicated? When is it applicable for a therapist to suggest that a patient go on antidepressants? When it becomes bad enough that the person won't get out of bed? When it affects his job or social activities?
