SSRIs effectiveness

2018-05-27 18:15:09
Why there are 6 SSRIs. Are all SSRIs equally effective? Is it possible that one will work and other doesn't. If yes why?? Does anyone know anything about these drugs coz they make patients suffer alot as psychiatrists just confuse them. I'm also a victim. I have been on them for 5 years and still not recovered. Help me.

All the six major SSRIs are effective and can be used for treating depression. What helps best is that along with medications you also consider getting psychotherapy. A combination of medications and therapy is beneficial in treatment if depression. If you are in Delhi, get in touch with me.
