Have ocd, depression, and anxiety but i fear ssri's because of its extensive possible side effects. is there a way to get over that fear?

Every person is: Different. If you have a bad reaction to the medication, your psychiatrist will change or adjust them. If OCD, depression & anxiety are interfering with your life, it is worth trying meds.
