I always knew that my depression was a spiritual disease more than anything else. But doctors prefer to document the dramas in your life as explanation. Studying the Kabbalah is a wonderful alternative to depression. But thank God, depression gives us a reason to examine one's life. However, there is another reason people are hooked on anti-depressants - because the doctors would rather you stay on them, than have to deal with you again during a later descent. And there is a more bodily reason - because people are hooked on the more modern (and more effective) anti-depressants - because, they are addictive and trying to come off them often causes very distressing neurolgical symptoms. http://bipolar.about.com/cs/antidep/a/0207_ssridisc1.htm is one example of such information.
