How can we know if an antidepressant is working? What are the changes/effects that an effective antidepressant should bring about?

To determine if an antidepressant is working, you can look for improvements in your daily functioning and quality of life. It is important to be able to manage anxiety and still carry out daily activities. It may take several attempts to find the right treatment that works for you. In addition to medication, cognitive-behavioral therapy with a psychologist or therapist is also recommended. Your pharmacist can provide questionnaires to help evaluate the effectiveness of your treatment.
