One of the most commons questions I get asked by patients and their loved ones is... "How long does it take for antidepressants to work for depression?" If you can invest 5 minutes for the sake of your health and knowledge, this 5 minute fast fact video will give you a better understanding of what the realistic timelines are of when to expect positive results from traditional prescription antidepressants.
Other topics that are covered include: what factors can affect those timelines of expected results and the percentage of patients that experience positive results on their first attempt at taking an antidepressant for their major depressive disorder aka clinical depression.
