I think antidepressants can be very helpful for some people. But only you can make the decision of what is best for you. The best thing I can say is educate yourself about the options. My t suggested antidepressants a few times and I did a ton of reading about them. Ultimately I decided against them for now and my t respects that decision. But I know they are always there as an option.

For now I am working with sleep regulation, healthy eating, talk therapy, and exercise. But that was my personal choice. I would not say it is easy by any means. No matter what option you choose, depression is tough to deal with.
