Kathy Dettwyler,
 Thank you, thank you, thank you! You so eloquently stated what I have been
wanting to say for a long time while reading all of the back and forth about
meds for depression and anxiety. I have anxiety disease/panic disorder. I
never needed meds until a *major* shift in my brain chemistry at the age of
29. Now I can't function comfortably without them (believe me, being in a
constant state of fight-or-flight is very *uncomfortable*) Psychotherapy *is*
important, but it is no more the *cure* for all problems than meds are.
