Dear Patient,

Taking any type of antipsychotic treatment has various side effects. However often times patient's aren't able to cope and need support from their environment, doctor's and medicines. The benefits of antidepressants at such times outweigh the side effects. The best thing to do is to go for counselling first. If need be then get tested for depression by a professional psychiatrist and take antidepressants. Also maintain regular follow-ups for early diagnosis and proper treatment
