NO! I'm sure they work for most people but not for me. I was on Zoloft for about 2 years. I gained 80 lbs. Now why would a doctor prescribe something that would make a woman fat to make her not depressed? Being overweight just made me more depressed till I quit the drug on my own accord.Counseling helped more

It did me a world of good, but I was actually underdiagnoses for about 10 years. I was really bipolar, so the meds didn't help as much as they would have. Once I was on meds for both depression AND BPD, I was waaaaaay better.

I am on an anti-depressant and it helps incredibly. My biggest issue was being irritable ALL the time with EVERYTHING!

After one week of taking Lexapro, I ended up cutting myself for the first time in almost a year and started making up ways to kill myself. So, no. But it works differently for everyone.
