+1, antidepressants are not magic and don't work for everyone, but they worked amazingly for me.

I was put off for so long because I had read so many people saying that antidepressants were evil or bad or whatever. I wish I asked my doctor about them earlier.

It's OK to take them. It's ok to not want to take them. I wish they were less stigmatized because they do help some people a lot.
