Its best to treat depression with a mix of medications and therapy. Often the medications can alleviate enough symptoms that you can benefit from talk therapy.

The newer anti-depressant medications (Lexapro, Effexor, Paxil, etc.) are great, and have few side effects. But Paxil leads many to weight gain. Lexapro does not seem to have this effect.

I was a therapist in my previous career in case anyone was wondering.
