I went to my psychiatrist for trans stuff and they ran some tests (ive struggled with overthinking everything and paranoia for a while now) and said i have from mild close to extreme depression (im clean for a while now, like 6 months but i still get urges to cut and end it) and they said she can write me antidepressants but im scared to take them cuz my family always said that the main side effects are stronger depression and suicide and ik scared ill go insane from them and i dont know what to do, some friends say i should take them but alot say i shouldn't. please help, i dont know if i even need them but the psychiatrist said i do.
