I am really trying to get better. I have even started with antidepressants. I do hope that those will help me. My depression became something my mother could not stand any longer so she convinced me to go to a doctor. Now I have to admit, things look a lot better so I do hope I will not have the same problems again. Still I am worried for the time after the therapy. Can I develop addiction to these drugs I use?

Well, you have not mentioned the name of the drug you use but most of those medicaments could make some problems with addiction. That is why the doctors do not recommend sudden stopping with the therapy. It has to be done slowly, dosage must be reduced every week or so. In this way, the patient will never have to worry about addiction and other side effects.
