3.Pay Attention to Side Effects
Many side effects go away within a week or 2, but others may be a sign you need to adjust what you’re taking. Look for insomnia, nausea, weight gain, dizziness, and sexual problems. Keep track of any issues so you can help your doctor fine-tune your treatment. If you ever have thoughts of suicide, talk to your family or doctor right away.
4.Talk Things Out
Depression usually has a mix of physical, emotional, and mental symptoms. Studies show that the most effective way to treat depression is a combination of medicine and therapy. Options range from counseling, like cognitive therapy, to meeting with a support group. Learning to cope with the conflicts, traumas, losses, or stresses that trigger your illness can help keep you well.
