Do antidepressants work ? Are they effective ? Psychiatrists on youtube have said that antidepressants can only give average effects and not very good effects?
Dear Sir
Antidepressants are used for treatment of anxiety and depression. Depression and anxiety disorders are caused due to certain neuro biological and chemical changes in the brain, which means it has a biological basis. What antidepressant medication does is that it rectifies these abnormalities in the brain and thus helps in the treatment of these disorders. Antidepressant are effective medications and are recommended for treatment of moderate to severe depression. If you feel that you or your loved ones is suffering from depression, please do not hesitate to see a psychiatrist. You can contact me for further help
