Depression can be a very hard thing specially when food is your comfort. I was put on anti-depressants for about a year a half back in 2003. I was put on Prozac which is actually known to help weight loss. It did for a while, but my eating habits were the ones needing to change for weight loss solution. It is my opinion that anti-depressants really help out when prescribed correctly. You have to have a good doctor that wont just medicate you to get rid of the problem at hand. My psychiatrist had me see him once a week for evaluation as well as see a psychologists 2 times a week. They both worked together to help me get the best results. If I would miss either ones appointment the other would know and had me on check to make sure I went. It was an awesome system and I thank God I had them to help me out with my depression. But it is about finding the best doctors who truly want to help. I only took 1yr and a half of meds and quite honestly it was all I needed. Now I am relieved of depression and feel much better in that sense. Now I just need to work on my weight and I will be brand spanking new! lol (if only it was that easy)
