Depression

Question

Depression

Asked for Female, 16 Years

I've been having depressive symptoms for a about 3 years now. I've seen a psychotherapist but no progress was made and I couldn't even talk to her - now she went on sick leave and I was told I'd be put on a waiting list but I'm not sure that's happened. At this point, i think talk therapy is too slow for me and I need something more helpful and straight to the point. So I'd like to know how do I go about getting anti depressants?
