One thing that I find worrying about this comment thread is how there is a general vibe of "antidepressants are evil". This widespread idea makes a lot of people who should be seeking treatment be reluctant to do so and as the article points out, right now under-treatment is a much bigger problem than over-treatment.

If you are feeling depressed you really should seek help from a psychiatrist. Having a face-to-face appointment with a psychiatrist will put you on a much better position to find out if you should be prescribed antidepressants or not (as well as other forms of therapy).
