For me (no one else) the first clear, sober action I did was go to my doctor and was reviewed for my history of major depression. I kind of knew AD's were necessary. It gave me a level playing field to deal with every day life. For me, having a script for AD's suggests seeing a doctor for depression. AD-'s take a while to have a noticeable difference. To me feeling as if I had depression like symptoms and not seeing a doctor- would mean my thinking was not too clear.
