Will the med bring about a serious improvement in your question of life? Then possibly.

I have to say I respectfully disagree with this. I would be dead and in the ground long, long ago were it not for multiple meds. Granted, I have bipolar depression and not MD, but still, the concept is very similar. The idea that serious depression is just about wrestling with life's questions is, I believe, a rather simplistic approach to what serious, life-threatening depression is. Just my take and, of course, everyone's mileage may vary.
