Everything I’ve heard is conflicting; of the people I’ve known who have been on antidepressants, some had great results, and some came out worse. What I know for sure is that psychiatrists are very, very likely to prescribe them for people showing symptoms of depression. If you go to a psychiatrist’s office, you’ll probably leave with a prescription. So don’t go to an appointment thinking “Ho hum, I’ll see what the doctor says.”
