Quiz: Is your antidepressant working?

If you answered yes to any of the previous questions, your antidepressant might not be working very well.

Possible next steps

Looks like your antidepressant might not be cutting it just yet. It's a good idea to check in with your doctor or therapist soon, especially if things are feeling rough. If you've been on it for less than a month, it might just need a bit more time to work. But if it's been a while, it might be time to think about trying a different antidepressant or another treatment.
