ABSTRACT
How do tablets fit in your treatment? National guidelines in the UK now recommend that young people with depression should have other treatments (for example psychological or ‘talking’ treatments) first before thinking about anti-depressant medication. Only a specialist doctor can prescribe anti-depressants, and only then in particular circumstances. But these medications can be helpful as part of a package of care (that is, provided you’re also having other treatments at the same time).
