Depression
Since the 1950s, the treatment of depression has been with antidepressant medications. Their discovery was one of the great breakthroughs in medical treatment of the 20th century.

Antidepressants help people to live fulfilling lives instead of losing jobs and relationships, possibly committing suicide, or living a life of worthlessness and hopelessness. Despite their benefits, antidepressants are sometimes misunderstood, considered as an unnecessary 'crutch', or thought to be addictive.

The truth is that, used properly and with due regard for their side-effects, antidepressants can have profound benefits.
