The Role of Antidepressants in Recovery

[Shree]

Antidepressants can stabilize mood and reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. Side effects vary, and effectiveness differs among individuals. Do you think medication should be long-term, or only until therapy builds coping skills?

I think it depends on the person. Some people may need to take medication for their whole life, some may need a mix of therapy and medication, while some find success with just therapy or changes to life choices. I think it comes down to what works best for you, because everyone is different in what works and doesn't work.
