But most people who consider themselves depressed don't want to stop drinking, change their diet, take vitamins, exercise, try light therapy, try counseling, try meditation, try yoga, etc. Too much work. Why bother when I can pop a pill & hope for the best. Same for Type II diabetes caused by obesity - want to eat right & be more active, or just pop a pill & continue to eat garbage & sit around?

Yes, people always want the easy way out. I hate pills, and hate taking pills. Always have. I'd make a terrible drug addict! Because I hate needles even more!

And in my opinion, food is the most addictive thing there is. I spent 20 years of my life, addicted to food. And CRAPPY food at that. I literally count getting off the crappy food addiction train, as the best thing I've ever done in my life. Better than money, big house, all of it. Getting healthy, and eating healthy. Feeling healthy = priceless!
