Hello, Happycheeks!
Without going into a lot of details from years of trial and error, here are my priorities in dealing with depression:
- Therapy
- Lifestyle adjustment(s)
- Minimal therapeutic doses of antidepressant medication(s)
If Citalopram is working for you, great! As much as possible work with your doctor to find the lowest dose of Citalopram that helps you
while at the same time seeking some kind or kinds of therapy (including self-help) to hopefully grow to a better place where meds are unnecessary.
You can be a success story
