My doctor has suggested that I start taking a medication for depression. Is it safe?

It depends on the specific drug, but in general, most antidepressants are considered safe and effective when taken as prescribed by your doctor. However, some people may experience side effects such as nausea, headache, or insomnia. If you have any concerns about the safety of the medication, consult with your doctor to discuss potential risks and benefits before starting treatment.
