When is mental illness/depression severe enough to turn to anti depressants?

Clinical depression is because the brain is unable to produce serotonin. It’s not obvious to a person that this has happened as they usually spiralled.

I’ve always described that point as having a shadow fixed to your brain which fuels things like indecision and negativity

I found I didn’t realise how bad I was until I started to get better

For anyone suffering with depression. Please get help. Best thing I ever did
