>Healthy people also have suicidal tendancies.
I suppose nobody has really drawn the line in the sand. Sure most people will say they've thought about suicide in their lifetime, but at any given time, most people will not say they've thought about suicide in say, the last three days.

Thats what this page is all about. Its not necessarily about pills, there are many sections with many different ways to approach the same problem. Not everyone gets sufficant relief from the alternatives.
Is it a form of healing? Perhaps its part of the healing process for somebody to think that they have the answer. I suppose it seems more definitive for somebody to think that their solution applies to everbody.
Its the same with religion, I suppose. When sombody gets healed through 'religion', it is a common tendancy to want to spread the word.
I guess what I am saying is that, just because I am not getting better, does not mean I am not still praying. Just because I'm here doesn't mean I am not already considering alternitives.

I'm sure that many people here would give up this board, and everything they ever knew about "psychiatric drugs", in a heartbeat, if it meant that they would not have to suffer clinical depression ever again. For most people with clinical depression, medication is a burdon, not a novelty.

Hope is a very powerfull thing. But, I would believe your statement about what *isn't* a solution a little more concretely, if I had solid evidence demostrating what exactly *is* a solution.
(Ie.) tell me what I havn't tried.
