My Antidepressant Doesn't Feel Like It's Working

Do you find yourself saying any of these?

“I used to smile all the time, but now it is just too hard to.”
“I can’t concentrate on my work at all. I just want to go home right now.”
“I always feel worthless or guilty for no reason at all.”
“I used to be able to change my moods, but now I feel low all the time.”

In recent research, 33%of patients experience substandard responses to their prescribed antidepressants. This statistic shows that you may be receiving little to no benefit in relieving your depressive symptoms. There are many causes of this including a new medical condition, stress, or even genetics. The answer to this problem is not to stop taking your antidepressant completely, but to start thinking about other options. Don’t accept your depression as being normal.
