The Treatment

How Well Does It Work

Antidepressants

Very successful for many !!

I have known people lucky enough to have an antidepressant work quick, easy, first time, and long term with no other help or side affects.

Not successful for everyone

Lots to choose from

Research is ongoing to produce new and better drugs with less side affects
