Is it possible to work out of a depression without meds?

Depression is not something that you want to cure out of your kitchen sink.
Get some professional help. Many psychotropics and "happy pills" have undesirable sides...
The information given about Abilify above is not entirely correct. It is also used to minimize hallucinations.
Dont fug with a crazy person!

does anyone actually have a grasp of how many people suffer from this? and that it is classified as a mental illness? a serious one? i don't think you do. there are commercials, on every channel, all thru the day, pushing different types of anti-depressants. it is that bad, there are millions and millions of people who would be better off dealing with a little dry mouth than trying to justify their existence daily....

3 or 4 months is a very long time to be walking around down in the dumps. . .i had an experience a couple of years ago, went deep sea fishing, wore a scopalamine patch (for sea sickness), it made me feel kinda dopey but other than that didn't really notice much (other than i didn't get sick). a couple of days later though, i noticed i was in kind of a "funk". . .tired but having trouble sleeping, no interest in food, no interest in sex, no interest in socializing. . .i let it go for a couple of weeks but it didn't go away, in fact it got worse. by the time i went to the doc i was like a friggin zombie. . .i could barely get my ass out of bed in the morning and my productivity at work was for shit.
i told the doc about my problems and he asked when they started and it didn't really dawn on me until he asked, that the symptoms showed up after the fishing trip. . .i told him about the scopalamine and he said that some people have a negative reaction to it causing seratonin reuptake issues (chemically-induced depression). . .he put me on paxil cr for a couple of weeks and after about two days i felt like the new person. also, like someone else mentioned above, i could screw like an animal. . .actually had to concentrate to bust a nut. . .that part was kind of fun, but the rest of it sucked.
if you haven't already, go see a doc. . .it's been a couple of years since that incident and i've had no recurrences and i haven't had to take any meds since then. . .

I wasnt refering to the minor sides...
There are some pretty significant side effects that can alter your world.
My kid was taking Abilify. We had to take him to a med appointment to get his scrips filled and this young doctor felt that he was on too much medication. He took him off it. We went through hell for 4 months with this kid until his PCP saw that he was on Abilify in the past and thought it might be a good thing to put him back on it. He leveled right out.
They had my little girl on 6 tabs of clonidine a day for her ADHD. She slept all of the time. We took her off clonidine and she is fine. A/B Honor roll and no problems in school.
My point is these are mood altering drugs and some sides are as serious as "new feelings of depression" and isolated cases suicidal tendencies.
Now of course the majority of us on EF have our own set of issues! But I sure as hell dont want any new ones.
These meds arent something to be played with...not like taking to many ibuprofen.

seriously,before the lexapro I would just go off. I would have tirades over the smallest thing. Couldnt even look at my oldest daughter.
Im basically doped up now because Im in a bad marriage. Sometimes I think I should just be honest with her and tell her everything, then I realize she fucking psycho.lol
