Is it safe to take anti-depressant drugs or would i become drug dependant ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not a dependency: The safety of each medication can vary for each unique person and, indeed, some folk are not good candidates - your doctor should know your risks. It's not habit-forming as much as risky to stop abruptly. Even if you decide to try drugs, please remember that CBT Tx optimizes outcomes w/ or w/out drugs. It can keep doses lower and briefer.
