March 12, 2022 00:00:00


Suffering from depression has become a common affair in today's world. Many people in Bangladesh are now suffering from this disorder, especially teenagers. According to a survey, almost seven million people in our country suffer from depression. Feeling sad or loss of interest in activities is one of the key features of depression. However, it is treatable. One of the highly recommended medications for depression treatment is antidepressants.

Antidepressants are one kind of medication that is used to treat depression, anxiety-related disorders, and also help people manage their addictions. If they take these antidepressants medication as prescribed by physicians, they will feel emotionally stable, which will help them follow a normal daily life. It is a useful medication, but it does not work every time. It can work best when an individual gets support from his/her family and friends. So, before prescribing anyone any medicine for disorders like depression, one should consider support from family and friends, first.
