I hate and refuse to take any type of pill. I think they make me depressed. Everyone says this isn't true. But I get more and more depressed everytime I take a pill. Even if it's just ibuprofen. Is this normal?

I wouldn't think that an ibuprofen tablet would make you depressed; it is a simple NSAID pain killer with few side effects. Are you depressed often? If so your depression might be the result of a mental disorder. People with depression tend to produce less Seretonin and Dopamine than normal which can cause unnatural effects on your mood. People with depression often have feelings of extreme sadness and false based feelings they are worthless, incompetent, stupid, hated by others; even when there is no true justification to believe so. The symptoms themselves can lead to an inability to carry out every day social functions, such as work, school or social relationships. Some people even think or commit suicide over this disease. If you experience this you should really talk to a doctor about getting on some medication, as Depression is a mental illness that can take a physical toll on your body over time. There are many medications out there such as Zoloft, Paxil, Celexa, etc. that are used to treat Depression and have been effective in some cases. There is also counselling available, so sometimes it's best to combine the two in treatment. If this sort of thing only happens when you take the Ibuprofen, then try to plan to take it at a time when you have something to do you enjoy. And try to put aside any notions you may have that it is making you depressed, because really you don't know that. If you do this and you still feel depressed while doing things you love, then it's possible it could be effecting you this way and you could switch to Asprin or Tylenol. I would recommend Asprin though if you are over the age of 20, it's easier on your liver.
