Antidepressants not the best remedy for depression?

According to recent findings, antidepressants have been more commonly prescribed in recent years than in the past. They are often seen as a first option or “quick-fix” to depression or other mood disorders, so their prevalence has increased over the years. Doctors have also been prescribing antidepressants for milder symptoms and mood disorders. However, antidepressants interfere with brain chemistry and, when prescribed alone, are not the best way to combat depression. Instead, antidepressants should be part of a holistic depression treatment plan that incorporates lifestyle changes and therapy. So, if you or a loved one is looking to treat depression, keep in mind that antidepressants can be harmful to brain chemistry and that they alone are not the most effective treatment for depression.
