  • Which medicine is the most effective for depression?

    A good and tough question. All the medications available are good and effective most of the time. However, not every medication is effective for every patient. A given medication may work for one patient but not for another. Some patients may not be able to tolerate a particular medication because of side effects. A thorough psychiatric evaluation is important and can give you a better idea if a given medication could be the right one for you. If you have a trial of a medication and it doesnt work out, dont be discouraged as there are a lot of good, effective medications available for depression. Dr. Seymour READ MORE
