[quote=Anonymous]Maybe try to reframe depression not as sadness or not happy. I used to think of it the same way, honestly. However, depression can look like many things, and the meds can take a bit to get right. There's a reason why the disclaimers say that 'this anti-depression med, may cause depression'. I think you're doing great by listening and staying engaged. As long as you're listening and asking questions that let you know they are attending to their overall mental and physical health, it should be fine. Only other thought - don't get caught up in expected timelines, it's a wait and see game, and putting a bookend on outcomes will just stress you out. [/quote]
