What if antidepressants change who I am?

This is a common fear, but antidepressants don't coping with change your fundamental personality or who you are. Instead, they help lift the fog of Major depressive disorder so you can access parts of yourself that have been buried under symptoms. Many people report feeling more like themselves again once their Psychiatric medication starts working. If you notice changes that don't feel right, that's important information to share with your doctor. Psychiatric medication should help you feel more balanced and capable, not like a different person entirely.
