A member asked:

Is it possible to drink antidepressants for the whole life and to be in good health?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Anti depressants: Antidepressants have side effects but if the benefits of their use outweigh the side effects then they are worth it. Remember to get to the root of the issues requires counseling and life changes, thereby allowing you to take lower doses. Hope this helps.
