Me too. And part of my ignorance is if the Cellar is actually representative of the population in general, or if we are somehow self selecting. Do more (or less) people who need antidepressants come here because there is something about this community that is welcoming. Maybe the Cellar just allows us to be more open than irl, and antidepressant use the same "out there" as "in here?"

I think this poll question is as much a question about the community built here as it is a question of how widespread antidepressant use is in the world.
