Depression meds can help a lot if your emotions are making it hard for you to accomplish your activities of daily living, and if your doctor thinks you're a good candidate. Physical exercise can accomplish the same thing as anti-depressants and doesn't have potential side effects. I took A/D's for about a year and went off them. They helped tremendously when I was in the first few months of my sitch and just couldn't stop crying. I don't think I needed them as long as I took them, and felt pretty stable after I discontinued them. But everyone's different. Main thing is not to feel any shame or judgment about taking care of yourself, and in their place A/D's are part of that.
