Suspected depression: Rather than just taking medicines, you should have a check up to establish the correct diagnosis and rule out bipolar disorder, alcohol issues, thyroid or electrolyte imbalances, etc.

Many Options: Let's say you have been diagnosed by a mental health professional with major depression. Many different medications are effective in the treatment of depression. Your doctor will select an anti-depressant based upon your symptoms, your prior response to treatment, and even how family members have responded. If one medication doesn't work there are many options. Safe effective treatment exists.
