Here's what I'm talking about: something unhinges you and a doctor diagnoses clinical depression/anxiety disorder. She prescribes one of the many SSRIs that are out now. Your neurotransmitter is unblocked and you begin to cheer up. The people close to you observe that you seem to be learning more quickly. You have more confidence and more energy. You study even harder and become a much better musician much more quickly than you expected. In fact, you are writing and performing music so well, it really excites and pleases you. Are you saying you would not continue to take this drug even when it seems that the drepression is no longer a problem? Just wondering.
