Don't ask me whether this trade is fair or unfair. But in order to keep a sense of well being one will have to lose something, and to keep going with an antidepressant, regardless of their age and class, surrender your normal sexuality. Does it seem fair enough ?
Depression will heal naturally and it is the initial stage that is most disturbing. Here is where you need an antidepressant, or something similar to that. Once you get the momentum back try to avoid chemical dependence or at least antidepressant dependence and try some other route to cope. So far it is the only way out. And remember!! You should be sensible to assess the benefit versus risk ratio
Good luck and take care
