Could anti-depressant drugs actually work?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: yes they can actually work. most people it takes a few weeks for them to take effect but they are often very helpful. often there are side effects for the first 7-10 days but they mostly resolve with time. full effect takes about 8 weeks but most people notice substantial improvement at 4 weeks
