You probably have questions.

​

No, you do not HAVE to take medications.

It is your body and you need to make decisions about
your body and health with all the information from qualified sources.

​

Yes, side effects are real and happen to some people.

I wish there was a crystal ball to figure out if you would
experience side effects and which ones, but we do not know.
Ask the doctor about these questions and voice your concerns.

​

No, antidepressants will NOT make you suicidal.

Antidepressants improve energy levels which can lead to
acting on already present suicidal thoughts.
If you have ever experienced suicidal thoughts (like 99% of humanity),
let your doctor know so they can monitor it appropriately
(No, it is not an automatic ticket to the mental hospital).
