I'm afraid of recommending psychiatry's shotgun approach of throwing tricyclic antidepressant meds at someone until they subjectively feel an improvement in their quality of being from their baseline depressed state. Getting there requires taking all sorts of serotonin/dopaminergic etc neurotransmitter flooding/inhibiting drugs that made me feel like a lifeless zombie that I only recovered from by quitting cold turkey and enforcing a strict routine of eating clean, 7-8 hrs of sleep, mediation, hydrating, and minimal tech distractions Quitting cold turkey put me through withdrawal hell, Google "brain zaps" if you want to read up on what that torture feels like. I think in the future we will look back at the field of psychiatry medication today like it was medieval/primitive times. With that being said, if it has the possibility to help you then by all means try it, but don't be afraid to jump ship if you can find a natural way to rebalance your brain. If only I knew that path existed before getting on meds.
