Medications for depression, such as SSRIs (like sertraline or escitalopram), can be highly effective, but they are prescription-only and require a doctor's evaluation. There is no single medication that fits everyone, and starting them requires careful monitoring. I strongly recommend scheduling an appointment with a primary care physician or a psychiatrist. They can properly diagnose your symptoms and discuss a tailored treatment plan, which may combine medication with therapy, like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).
