I found this article on depression and antidepressants in the NY Times Magazine yesterday and it is WELL worth reading. It discusses the necessitiy for antidepressant treatment, the way they work, and how alarmingly many people get on these drugs without proper supervision by a mental health care provider. While they can be very helpful in many cases, there is also a lot the medical community doesn't know about them, resp. doesn't always tell the patient (e.g. how hard it can be to get off them after long-term treatment). Really a great article for everyone interested in or affected by depression and its treatment. Here's the link:

About Us
- Patrick & Lydia
- Knoxville, Tennessee, United States
- He, from Nashville, TN, meets her, from Berlin, Germany, while volunteering for 2 weeks in Weimar (Germany) in 2000. Many emails, flights and phone conversations later, he moves to Germany, where they get married before eventually relocating to Nashville. He currently works on his PhD in Modern American History at Vanderbilt University and she just finished teaching high school for two years. They both just relocated from Nashville to Knoxville, where she has recently started a PhD program in Experimental (Social) Psychology. In the meantime they are happy to have summers off to get out of the house and onto the road. Traveling is a passion for both and has led them to many places in Europe, the US, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. (Likely, they are brooding about their next trip this very moment to get their minds off of all the other, less fun stuff they need to do.) Worried about boring friends & family with mass emails, they decided to update those interested in their adventures on the road and at home with this blog... (And since Lydia is furthest away from home, it seems she will do most of the reporting...)
