It's estimated that over 18 million people a year suffer from depression. Many of these people also suffer from multiple episodes. You should know that after your first episode of depression, you have a 50% chance of experiencing it a second time. And, after you experience it a second time, a 70% chance of experiencing it a third.

It is important to communicate with your doctor. Talk to your doctor if you're thinking about stopping your medication because you're feeling better, or, if you're having trouble staying on your medication schedule. Your health care professional is your best resource for information on staying well. Communication can be an important part of your recovery and help make depression manageable. Talking with trusted friends and loved ones about how you're feeling can help them better support you in the process of recovering. I know that sometimes this feels impossible to do but because I have been there and left people out it has hurt me alot more as I have not had support from the people closest to me.

I must say that my mates at uni where my greatest support ever and that God to has been there too. If they hadn't been there I wouldnt be here and not writing this now.

People with depression have an imbalance of the brain's neurotransmitters, the chemicals that allow nerve cells in the brain to communicate with each other. Many scientists believe that an imbalance in serotonin, one of these neurotransmitters, may be an important factor in the development and severity of depression.

Many scientists believe that an imbalance in serotonin, one of these neurotransmitters, may be an important factor in the development and severity of depression.
Prozac tackles this imbalance by increasing the brain's own supply of serotonin.
Some other anti-depressant medicines appear to affect several neurotransmitters in addition to serotonin. Prozac selectively affects only serotonin.

Caution: As with most anti-depressants, Prozac could interfere with other anti-depressants, particularly MAO inhibitors and other SSRIs. Therefore, if you wish to combine Prozac with any other anti-depressants, you must only do so under the guidance of a doctor or health worker.
