Ten years ago, I asked my family doctor about antidepressants because a psychiatrist I was seeing was going to prescribe a mild one, and he told me: "you're a smart girl and these drugs can have a negative effect on your intelligence, so don't take them." Actually, he was never convinced that I was depressed and told me to just go exercise and it will make me feel better. After years of trying to cope with depression on my own, I found out that I just cannot handle it alone. I need help and I am going to ask for it soon. But if the doctor prescribes antidepressants, will it affect my mental abilities in any way? If so, how? Can some people share their experience with these drugs, please?
