Ok i need to know, what would be the best line of treatment medication wise for severe depression due to a divorce and major life changes?

Depression : To prescribe effective treatment for anyone, there needs to be a thorough evaluation first. There is no "best line" medication for depression in the context of divorce, vs other events. Instead, treatments are tailored to the individual ways people suffer. In most cases, psychotherapy is essential, even when medications are also used. A psychiatrist can help assess your needs & get started.

Seek a Dr: I would recommend seeing a Psychiatrist for medication (antidepressants) and a Psychologist for counseling and developing a plan to help reclaim your life.

DEPRESSION: Have a physical exam by a Dr. to know if you have a physical illness. If cleared consult with a Clinical Psychologist with expertise in multiple types of psychotherapy to help with ZOOM & a Psychiatrist for medication. Sleep is fundamental to mental & physical health. If you are not sleeping well ask for a sleep study. Depression can increase due to Covid-19. Stay hopeful to boost your immunity.
