treatments and therapies I've found that the above mentioned measures along with a bluelight in the winter has basically cured me. I take no medication, but do take supplements like 5-HTTP & often a vitamin supplement.

That being said, I totally agree that many people may need to stay on medication their whole life. And that is exactly what they should do. We wouldn't fault a diabetic for taking insulin. We need to have a lot more compassion for those that suffer and the treatments that may be required.
