Generally, we aren't too keen on ANY drug treatment. Although I understand the desperation that drives people to prozac, ultimately it merely disguises the depression, which continues to eat away the person underneath. Or worse, due to a suppression of your condition, the illness that is causing the depression, will focus itself on some other part of your body or psyche. I have seen people on prozac go on to develop debilitating physical illnesses - this shows the us that the depression has "changed places" if you will, and settled into a different place.
Depression is not a "chemical imbalance" as the medical profession would like to believe. It is a spiritual one, and pills are not the answer. Homoeopathy is definitely one of the therapies that can truly help, by going to the source of the depression. I have worked with many depressed patients, and it is rarely an easy process, and becomes harder and longer the more time spent on prozac.
