How do psychiatrists know if you need anti-depressants? Do you have to be depressed for an extended amount of time like 6 months to a year? Do you have to not respond to regular therapy for a long time too? Does your depression have to show no apparent root or cause?

Or do they just give you a prescription after three visits and call it a solution?
