Hi Swerve -- I know that clinical depression is not the same thing as feeling depressed - however I believe anti-depressants are over-prescribed because patients ask doctors for them. My Mom calls herself depressed and takes powerful medication, then got her sisters to take it and tries to get me to take it - and her so-called "treated" state is unbearable. She's just as overbearing, irrational, controlling, petulant, demanding, tempermental, etc., as ever but believes she's happy and can't understand why people around her are not happy.
