Pharmacist Questions Antidepressants

Are antidepressants bad for my general health?

My doctor prescribed antidepressants and I am a bit scared of them. Can my body have a bad reaction to them and be bad for my health in general? Need answers as soon as possible.

All drugs have some kind of side effects. Also, when taking meds, you have to weigh benefits versus side effects. In general, antidepressants are well-tolerated and have more benefits than bad effects on one's health.
You will have a reaction if you’re allergic
