Weird question but serious one

if you're with a psychiatrist right now, my suggestion is to not blindly accept any meds, make sure to research because most of them have horrific side effects and some of them can permanently alter or damage your brain, they are not any miracle cure by far, but if you absolutely feel you need them, then go that route I suppose. one thing to note is that depression is typically correlated with trauma, and the meds wont address the underlying problem

there are a lot of natural remedies to stabilize your overall mood, etc., have a look at r/nootropics if you want, and you should definitely look into therapy as well, EMDR has a positive result for most depressive disorders.
