Hi Thanks for the question. There are a variety of medications for depression; however, the first line of treatment would be psychotherapy and examining a complete complete history and symptoms. What are the strengths and stressors-and how was the initial diagnosis achieved?
There are several classes of medications to address depression most commonly prescribed SSRI and SNRI, please consult mental health provider who can assess and pick the right medication with psychotherapy
