Dr. Barbara Lavi answered

Specializes in Clinical Psychology

To decide which: Pills, you need to meet with a psychiatrist who will make the determination of what type of depression you have and which if any medications are indicated. Often psychotherapy alone can help reduce depression without the need for medication. Other times medication is required. Good luck and let us know how it goes.
