[QUOTE="everywoman, post: 285552, member: 1436"] I think we are talking about the difference between a chemical imbalance or an emotional issue. I have had situational depression---but it has never been an ongoing thing with me. And while at the time I could have been situationally depressed---husband's parents had both died, difficult child was in really bad shape, and pcson's wife had just left him with a 1 year old, I knew that is wasn't clinical depression that there was something else wrong with me---I have weathered storms my whole life---but the feeling of utter tiredness that is a mark of depression---just blew me away. But once my thyroid levels were normal, I was back to the old optimistic, plow through to the other side, me. Now difficult child is one who needs the chemical help to stabilize him. He, however, refused to take the medications. Instead he self-medicates with pot. Because of his choice, he limits himself in life. He can't apply for any real jobs because they will drug test and he will test dirty. When he broke his toe at work, he couldn't seek medical attention, because he would have been tested for worker's comp. and again, he would test dirty. If he chose to take the medications he needs, he would have more opportunities in life. [/QUOTE]
