Everyone's depression is their own, and one experience does not necessarily relate to another's experience. Go ahead and read what you like, but listen to yourself and your doctor.

Counter to the "takes a long time" statements: I was suicidal, and down 24/7. I started taking an SSRI on an afternoon, and that night noticed a difference. It took me awhile to get used to it and get past the side effects, but the depression changed literally overnight.

But that's me, that's my personal depression. I got lucky. Resist changing your routine just because someone has a well told story, no matter how smart they are.
