My understanding is that anti-depressants are like using a hammer to fix a clock. Generally speaking, unless there is something solely physiological that has damaged the neural pathways in your brain, things like cognitive therapy will achieve the same results without all the damaging side-effects and addiction to deal with afterwards.

also people on anti-depressants are weird. a few of my friends went on them and the change in their personality was distinct and almost generally unfavourable, in my eyes.
