Side effects of antidepressant
Dear Dr. Chan,
I am writing to see if my daughter could be a match for your therapy instead of taking an antidepressant. I am here for two days while she is going to the university here. Hope to talk to you soon.
Her school counselor says she has mild depression yet when she is sent to see a psychiatrist she is diagnosed for severe depression and is given some antidepressant twice daily. It is getting her with fatigue and wanting to be alone. She is alone in a dorm for three weeks without going out to eat and classes. I am quite worried. Could you do something or should she just come back home?
Regards and thanks
