I'm Off Drugs
A long time ago, my dad told me in great secrecy that he had decided to start taking an anti-depressant. He told me he was buying it from India or Canada, because he didn’t want it on his medical records. He had self diagnosed as depressed. Why no mental health professional involved? He didn’t want the stigma. Truth be told, he was embarrassed and ashamed that he perceived he needed it.
