I am 30 years old male. I am suffering from depression for quite some time. I didnt see any doctor because I feared that antidepressants will have side effects and I might get addicted. But now I feel I need medications. Before seeing a doctor I want to confirm that whether taking anti depressants will have any serious side effect and will I get addicted or dependant on medicines for whole life?

Dear, if you have depressive disorder, you should take anti-depressants. But if you do not have serious depression, then you don't need it. I want to assess your depression. Can you provide me more of your depression symptoms through a private question tome. I will help you. Don't worry and take care.
