Sorry No.: Good for you for asking for help.Medications such as antidepressants and mood stabilizers can't be prescribed in this format.Seeing a mental health professional for a full evaluation is important for finding the best way to get you feeling better.Not all depression is the same and treatment needs to be individualized. Seek out a mental health professional in your area. Good luck, be well!
