Not everyone suffering from depression needs medication, but others truly do, says Gwendolyn Nelson-Terry, MA, LMFT, a marriage and family therapist in San Diego, California.
“I have clients who come to my office who have been struggling with depression for years—they have been to therapy, have made many changes in their life and they still continue to struggle,” she says.
“Some are very resistant to speaking with the doctor about medication because they’ve read online that antidepressants are ‘bad.’ The truth is, some people need them! You can do all the therapy in the world, make dietary changes, be doing everything that you are supposed to be doing, and you can still suffer if the depression is caused by something biological.”
