Age 22, living alone - can i still be prescribed an antidepressant by a doc?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Would need to know more about your health history and current treatment, but in general, yes, antidepressants can be prescribed even if you live alone. The acuity of mood or anxiety symptoms and other risk factors may be taken into account by your provider as appropriate. Hope this answers you your question. Be well.
