Answer:
No. Studies show 70% of people on antidepressants still have symptoms. Plus they have many side effects, like hair loss and terrible withdrawl when you stop taking them.
NO!! you get addicted to them, and you have to take them forever! because once you get off it messes you up. Don't start them ever.
In all honesty some do and some don't.
Some will help with some parts of your depression and others will help somehow else
So I'm basically saying it's a trial and error type thing where you find out what works best for you. It maybe that you need a combination of meds to help the overall problem
Be careful though there are lots of side effects to many anti depressants. Listen to what your doctors have to say
Good luck
Yes, but not every antidepressant works for everyone. If one doesn't work get your dr to switch to another pill until you do find one that works well.
Exercise, good diet (more proteins, less carbs) and exercise will often help depression. Something about being in the sunshine, maybe taking a walk will help. Some people get depressed in winter because of shorter days.
There are cases that isn't enough, but sometimes it is better not to solve life's problems with a pill.
Yes, if you find the right ones for you. Certain ones work for certain people and not for others and unfortunately it is a trial and error sometimes to find one that works for you specifically. Also, keep in mind that antidepressants work a lot different than other types of medications. You must get a therapeutic level of the medicine into your body. Because of this, you may have to take them for a full three months or so before you get the full effect. However, most will start to work at least somewhere between 2 wks- 1 month.
