Do some people need anti depressants their whole lives?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Just as some people need glasses their entire lives to see things in focus, some people need certain neurochemicals replenished that are missing or diminished their entire lives with the assistance of antidepressant drugs. Adjunctive to medications, regular exercise also helps improve mood.
