Do you think that you can cure depression without medication? 

Because I'm thinking in stop taking that (I have money problems)

medication can help but no wonder drug can whisk it away - ive been battling it since late last yr and have been on meds since but medication is only a temporary measure to help u get 'on track' like as a crutch for a while as im only supposed to be on meds for another couple months.

so yea for sure u can 'cure' depression w/o meds but recovery is long no matter what but u will get there eventually. dont forget abt the supports in ur life (friends family etc) as well as mental health services

some people get mad at you when you say this, but exercise, sunlight, a proper diet, and a consistent sleep schedule does wonders for your mental health. drugs might also have bad side effects, like hormonal imbalance, and with depression, there's usually some underlying issue  causing it that taking a drug won't fix.
