I agree with the others - it takes a few months for the medication to start working. If you don't notice an improvement by then , discuss it with your doctor. I'm sorry you don't like your job but thank God you have one - so many don't right now. Do you exercise at all - exercise can really make a difference in depression. Try going for some brisk power walks. I think it would also be a good idea to have your vitamin D levels checked - most people aren't getting enough vitamin D.
Regarding your statement - would your wife and baby be better off - absolutely not!! Even though you feel you're contributing minimally right now because you're depressed - you're still an asset to your family and society even if you think it's a small part . I lost my brother a year and a half ago - he took his own life. It's so devastating for family and friends. Even though you're sad - you still have much to be grateful for if you look around. You have a chance to make a difference in your childs life - there's no greater achievement.
