Does Depression Get Worse As One Ages While Taking Anti-depressants Already?
I have always been somewhat of a loner but I find more and more I feel better when alone. I can tolerate being around others, but even when I am, I don t really feel I am a part of what is happening. I have been seeing a counselor for about three years now. I take two antidepressants. This has definitely stopped the unexpected crying jags. I was told that depression gets worse as you age. Is this true?
