   I think it’s smart – in most cases – to avoid drugs. Even SSRIs have unforeseen side effects, some never go away. I still get night sweats from Effexor — 10 years after I’ve stopped taking it. My mom got the ‘brain zaps’ from Prozac for an absurdly long time — maybe a year? And another friend of mine never was able to rid herself of the ‘brain zaps’ after weaning off Effexor and had to switch to a new SSRI to make them go away.

   As for the depression itself, whether or not it will go away is a difficult call. It depends on how much of it is organic – a brain malfunction of sorts, how much of it is situational (if any), and his willingness to try alternate therapy and really work with it, embrace methods to head the depression off before it gets bad.

   In my experience, people who are depressed for a long period in their youth will always be *prone* to depression. Understand that I’m only offering anecdotal-evidenced advice here. I disagree with another reponse stating nutrition won’t help. Vitamin definiciencies can certainly exacerbate depression, or even be a primary cause. However, learning to cope with it, fight his way out of it before it gets so intense that it turns to suicidal thoughts and hopelessness also would also be a key point. Once it drags you down so far, it’s virtually impossible to envision that there is a way out. Even after being depressed for 20-odd years, and being older, wiser and more introspective, I still continually fall victim to that part of the cycle, and it is scary. At times I honestly believe the only way out is death. After I ‘come back’ I’m not quite sure how my brain tricked me into believing I should die to escape my emotions. I don’t say that to scare you, and hope it isn’t taken that way. I only intend to demonstrate that depression allowed to fester becomes something even more unmanageable.

   I wish you luck, and admire your courage in taking an alternate route. I think in the long run you are making a wise choice, and so long as you stay on top of the issue, and convince him to do the same, it may well be a manageable condition without chemically altering your child in irreparable ways – ways which often don’t provide more than a temporary solution for most people.

   It is not uncommon. It is sometimes situational – depression over parent’ break-up, bullying at school, etc. If it is not, vitamins & food are not going to fix it. Drugs may not be necessary; TALKING TO A PROFESSIONAL IS. Why risk something happening to him because you don’t want it to. If he needs drugs & is not getting them, I know hundreds of addicts who self medicate.

   Good luck & God bless.
