I am in the UK. I used to suffer from depression, and when I went to the doctors he wanted to prescribe me with anti-depressants without considering other options like councilling. I turned down the medication, and now, with the loving support of my partner my life has turned around.
All I really needed back then was support and to work through my issues, but I wasn't offered that. If I'd taken the medication I would probably be dependant on it now like other members of my family are.
I'm sure anti-depressants are the right thing for some people, but I think the medical profession should see them more of a last resort.

Oh Dear... The Archmages again...
Well, They Are Crucial in Maintaining The Status Quo. Haven't You Worked IT Out Yet ?
! They 'Hate' poetry - despise IT. Some 'speak' so fast, One Wants to Laugh at Their Categories of Chat fanatics ! Truly !
When A Woman, still 'bleeding' from Birth complains about her so-called 'depression', do You Think They Find IT 'Abnormal' ? Of Course not - yet IT IS ABNORMAL To bleed For days after Birth. YES IT IS ! But We Are Not Told.
Most of The Time, saline & epidurals Go Together, So One Doesn't 'feel IT' That One Is Hurting One's Inner Organs While You're Pathetically at IT... Then, IT Follows, Since No one Dares manipulate The Perineum, One either 'Tears or gets The Cut'. Are You surprised At the Mental Distress that Follows ? Wish Men would Stop Acting Like 'Choirs boys' And DEMAND A Thorough Investigation.
For ex. Own Up All The Women Whose second Birth Ended in Hemorrage because their First Birth was either A Forceps OR The suction ventouse procedure? Own Up ! Go On, instead of minusing Good and SANE Suggestions for a Change...
Do You Think Your Doctor Will DARE Tell His/her Colleagues To get Their Act Sorted Out ? No, You Will be Told:
Sacrifice
This is Your Woman's Lot
Birth messes You Up
Can't Change a Woman's Fate/body
And More Blabla..................................…
We need A FORMAL INQUIRY - A Mine Sweeper,
An Epuration a la Delios
Besides, ask People Who Take Drugs for 'Pleasure' if They Are Turned on or Off by The 'usual anti-depressants' - methinks They Will Honestly Tell You:
Never, Will They Take Unhappy Drugs............

Anti-depressants almost guarantee more visits, also doctors get incentives for prescribing certain drugs.

>Why are doctors so eager to prescribe anti-depressants before considering other options?
Easy -- kick-backs from the drug companies XD
