antidepressants?

[Eyra Hughes]

Ive recently been to a place called cahms and they have highly recommended i should take a medication called prozac, im 13 by the way and i wasnt sure whether i should be prescribed for them or not as i know there are a lot of side effects as it has made people feel a lot worse in the past and have actually killed themselves. i have depression so i know there could be a good benefit to take them as it would help boost my confidence and my happyness and would help me sleep better. i wasnt sure what to do as i know there is the other option for cbt but there is a 5 month waiting list so it would be ages when i can just start the prozac straight away so im not sure what to do and was wondering if you have any advice or help asap? thank you
