Taking antidepressants effect people negative or positive in total?

Question by Shelby: Taking antidepressants effect people negative or positive in total?
we know that they have side effects, so when we think the “total effect” of it, is it negative or positive?

Best answer:

Answer by Rey’Gorillaz
negative

Answer by mbestevez
I disagree. Antidepressants would be competely banned from the market if total balance of effects would be negative.

I would say positive. Dry mouth for example, or constipation risk is lower than a suicide risk when you balance it.
