Can Antidepressants Reduce Extreme Depression And Stress?
HI My wife is 26 years ols, she recently got an emotional trauma, so she can t remember things, She went through a lot of family issues, her father is a alcoholic and her mom also have a lo of issues. They always used her as frustration relief person, and they always blamed her for their bad episodes of life. She have a history of depression in her 20s but her parents didn t gave any support or didn t take her for proper counselling, so she came out of her depression herself and she was carying the after effete then after. Now she was stressed up with her job too, her boss was very bullying so she always wanted to resign and she was looking for another job as well. But this happened 2 weeks before. Here psychiatrist he gave her some antidepressants but it seems nothing working really. I wanted to know how long it will take her to come out? and How?

Hello,
Antidepressants can cure severe depression. But the effect depends on dose and duration of treatment. I think you can start with sertraline 50mg twice a day. It will take atleast 15days to show its effects.
Thanks.
