Cool, man. I have never naturally suffered from depression, and I think things here in Romania are better than in Pakistan. But I did suffer from an severe psychosis with elements of paranoia and schizophrenia, and I know to some degree how to fight mental illness. I was prescribed anti-depressants during my treatment for reasons I do not understand, psychiatrists do. When I stopped taking anti-depressants I had a mild depression due to the bouncing back effect. But now I do not need medication anymore and I am almost entirely healthy .I always had wonderful friends, I have a new nice job, and I'm hopping for the best in other areas of my life. I hope everybody fighting mental illness will end up with a balanced mind. Best wishes, Aurelian!

great
hope this guy is doing well
Its not the exact same thing though - medical profession has had much longer to develop and its resultd are more visibly seen. Thats why mental health profession is taking time, and people have to step up. Thank you for doing that.
