A member asked:
Do antidepressants do any good if your home life doesn't change? or do they just make you ok with the everyday things that make you miserable?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Antidepressants: treat symptoms of depression when medical causes have been ruled out: eg., negative, sad mood, low energy, poor concentration, disturbed sleep/appetite. They do not solve your problems, but can make you better able to cope overall. Psychotherapy is often recommended to problem solve and help you understand why you act the way you do. Take care.
