Re: depression, has practicing Aikido helped in any way?

Alex, you received the answers to your original question in the first couple of replies concerning the ethics of training while medicated. Aikido teaches only aikido and doesn't substitute for any other social convention. Ignore those who offend you and interact with those you find helpful. Both kinds can be found on AikiWeb - "The pleasure is worth the pain." to quote Jimmy Buffet.
