Can anyone share please? Doctor has suggested that my young teen is suffering from mild/moderate depression. For various reasons they have suggested we seek medicinal intervention (ie prescription andi ds). However we have now been able to introduce 3 other recommended mental health interventions and also 3 months of CBT starting soon.
So I'm wondering what the path to recovery will look like? How long might it take before I can feel certain that recovery is happening without the anti ds? Things are certainly better than 4 weeks ago but still has many bad days and still shows many of the symptoms that were concerning the doctor in the first place. Thanks
