Finally the doctors get it right
After having every test possible with all the results coming back clear there was nothing physically wrong with me, I was eventually diagnosed with clinical depression. This was hard to come to terms with, I was hoping to feel relieved once I had an answer to what was wrong with me but instead I was distraught as I knew there was no cure ? no quick fix, and I felt ashamed and stupid. Since it took the doctors and health professionals so long to take me seriously and even longer to diagnose me, by this time I was a complete mess.
Treatment
I was then prescribed antidepressants, which I didn?t have any faith in and was very sceptical ...
My spies tell me that LloydCole is hitting the road this summer, on a UK tour. Before you rush out and book tickets, here's my review of the gig he played here in Edinburgh last year:
********************************************
Ok, so why the hell did I give up my Sunday night to sit in a church pew in Edinburgh's charming but chilly Queens Hall and listen to an old has been that never was? Well, firstly I'll be honest with you and admit I got the tickets for nothing via a competition in our local paper. Hurrah! I am a winner! felt good, I can tell you.
And secondly, I have loved this mans work since I was fifteen years old and (illegally!) taped my brother's Rattlenakes LP and played it to death in my bedroom. In those days of course LloydCole was never without his Commotions, who appear to have now melted away or indeed ...
Advantages: They help Disadvantages: Make you feel a bit sick at first.
Why I needed them.
About eight weeks ago I decided it was time to go to the doctor. I had been suffering from chest pains, palpitations and breathlessness for several months now and I was getting really worried about them, as I was sure that I had something-horrible wrong with me. So in I went to the doctors, so I told her my symptoms and she said that I probably had depression and was having anxiety attacks. I was shocked by what she had said I was not depressed I would know if I was depressed after all I had been there before I knew what to expect. I told her that I wasn?t depressed and that I had suffered from it before but she wasn?t convinced she wanted to put me on to antidepressants but I refused. So after a long chat with her she allowed me to leave the surgery without antidepressant as long as I descussed it with my husband ...

Album Notes
Lloyd Cole's mixture of jangly guitar pop, memorable melodies, and razor-sharp wordplay containing rich details and biting, sometimes cynical observations is difficult to resist. 2006's ANTI DEPRESSANT is as good, if not better, than any album in Cole's discography (and there have been a lot of good ones since his debut in 1984), proving the Scot's songcraft and pop instincts have only grown keener with time. Whether on the wistful, dancing melody of the piano-driven "Woman in a Bar" or the knowing nod of the title track, Cole examines the hopes, fears, and disappointments of life, love, and aging with relentless precision and ingratiating style.
Album Reviews
Q (p.139) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "ANTIDEPRESSANT is typically literate, with gentle folk-pop production and ex-Commotion Neil Clark adding proficient guitar." Mojo (p.118) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Still optimistic about his craft, his standard subject is love and he handles it cleverly."
