Pills for depression: Your mom sounds like she cares & needs to learn about current treatments (incl meds) for depression. The only way they could make you "insane" is if you have underlying bipolar illness and were to be given an antidepressant. This could "switch" you into mania. This very rare occurrence still is treatable. Work closely with a psychmd and you will get better! for more info: http://www.Nimh.Nih.Gov.

Depression: Anti-depressants will not make you insane. Try psychotherapy first with an experienced mental health professional who can also help you decide whether or not you will benefit from an anti-depressant. Also exercise for mild to moderate depression is as effective as medication. Best wishes.
