drugs are dangerous and foods, as supplements, are not.
Why take a drug when a food could do the same thing?

Depression is a chemical imbalance. You need to go to your family doctor and have him refer you to a psychiatrist. Believe me, psychiatrists have heard your story over and over and it won't be embarassing at all. You have lots of company. Unfortunately our society still sees psychiatric illnesses differently than other medical conditions. There is help out there. Don't be afraid of the meds. No, not all the meds make you gain weight. Some even tend to make you lose weight. So I don't know where that info is coming from. I have never heard of someone developing numbness from taking antidepressants. You need to get help soon. You will feel SOOO much better!
Definitely see your physician. Write down how you feel when you feel it, so you'll have something to show him/her.
Antidepressants are not scary. They can be a life saver - SERIOUSLY!
You also need to take into consideration that there are two types of depression - in normal terms I'll say "internal" and "external". If you have a family history of depression, you may have a chemical imbalance. If that's the case, you may not ever feel better without medication. External causes could be a breakup, loss of a job, etc. You can even have both at the same time!
