Is it wrong to refuse meds?
Depression Support / by lavenderFarm4174

...See more So I finally took myself to my GP last week to discuss how I was feeling and to see if it would help me. I wasn't entirely sure what I would get out of it, however my GP asked me about my symptoms and a few other questions. They then asked me to fill in depression and anxiety tests (similar to the emotional wellbeing test on here), then came at me with the idea of antidepressants. And it totally scared me! :( I wasn't expecting that on my first visit! But the GP gave me until today to read through a leaflet and decide whether or not I wanted meds. I went back today and said no. I refused. Was it the right thing to do? The GP didn't think so and tried to persuade me otherwise, but I don't want to put myself through anything else that could just cause more harm :(
