As the name suggests, antidepressants are the drugs that help you to come
out of the state of depression. These are the 'prescription-only' kind of
drugs which should be taken only under professional medical guidance.
They have their effects and side-effects therefore they need to be
supervised by your healthcare provider.
For adults, it is the
most effective treatment. Even children and teens are prescribed
antidepressants to fight the extreme stages of depression.
Antidepressants work by providing certain chemicals to the brain. If you
are in a kind of state where you have lost the motive of living your
life, hope and happiness, antidepressants are the most effective
solution available to you. Although their effectiveness depends on the
severity of depression, they can be a great help. Normally they are
taken for 4 to 6 months depending on the doctor's prescription.
When somebody reaches the state of depression, it means he is on
the last stage of stress. Antidepressants have the capability of pulling
you out of that extreme situation.
For eg. If a student has
failed in an examination continuously for two years, he may land in a
situation of hopelessness where he may not be ready to give it a try for
the third time. Such is the state of depression. Antidepressants can be
very helpful in such situations and bring back the motive in the
person's life. (Lithium, Cocaine, and Trazodone are some of the examples
of antidepressants).
