Es really doesn't know what she is talking about... Plenty of people should be taking anti-depressants, however, there are probably a lot of people that are taking them that shouldn't be. The pros and cons depend on a lot of things. Different anti-depressants have different side effects, and everybody reacts to them differently. Your first step should be to go see a professional that can find out whether or not you need them, and can prescribe the right medicine dosage for you.
Anti-depressants have a tendency to make teens more depressed, and suicidal. Therefore, you probably should be avoiding them if you have other options.

Respectfully, I have to disagree with the previous answer.
Whether or not to take anti-depressants really depends on if the pros outweigh the cons. If an individual is severely depressed due to a chemical unbalance, then anti-depressants, despite potential side-effects, are probably worth the risk. If it is situational depression, therapy is probably best. Of course, therapy can be helpful even if it is a chemical unbalance.
Depression is not always a result of something happening to you. It can be a physical illness that needs physical correction. After all, you can't talk cancer away, and sometimes depression is the same way.

first of all no one should take anti-depressants. there is no reason for it. if you are depressed, you need to figure out why it is ur depressed and fix that or resolve it.
second, depressants trigger your emotions and can affect you mentally. it's pretty much messing with your brain.
also, there are other ways of dealing with depression. for instance there is this thing called tapping which shows ways of dealing with depression, did you know depression is stored in the liver?... if you wanna know more im me because i can't explain all of it on here
my s/n is xxes25
