Depression is an illness that causes persistent feelings of sadness and hopelessness. It's not something you can "snap out of" and usually requires medical attention. The good news is that it's highly treatable.
Depression symptoms can vary greatly because different people experience depression in different ways. A 25-year-old man with depression may not have the same symptoms as a 70-year-old man, for instance. For some people, depression symptoms are so severe that it's obvious something isn't right. Others may feel generally miserable or unhappy without really knowing why.
Depression treatment with antidepressants drugs.
Dozens of medications are available to treat depression. Most people find the best relief of depression symptoms by combining medications and psychotherapy. Some medications for depression are antidepressants that have been specifically approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat depression. Doctors also can use their medical judgment to prescribe other medications that haven't been FDA approved to treat depression but that may be effective anyway - a common and perfectly legal practice called off-label use.
There are several different types of antidepressants drugs. Antidepressants drugs are generally categorized by how they affect the naturally occurring biochemicals in your brain to change your mood. To determine which antidepressant drugs may be best for you, doctors typically follow general practice guidelines. They may also ask you to take a blood test called the cytochrome P450 test, which can help identify genetic factors that influence your response to certain antidepressants drugs (as well as some other medications).
Other factors that are considered when choosing an antidepressant drugs are your symptoms, your family history of depression, and other conditions you may have. Don't give up until you find an antidepressant drugs or medication that's suitable for you - you have a good chance of finding one that works and that doesn't have intolerable side effects, even if it takes a few tries.
Most antidepressants drugs are equally effective. But some pose a higher risk of serious side effects. Here's how antidepressants drugs and other medications are generally considered when you're starting treatment for depression:
Many doctors start treatment with antidepressants drugs by prescribing an antidepressant drugs known as an SSRI - a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor. This is because the side effects of the medications in the SSRI class of antidepressants are generally more tolerable than are those of other types of antidepressants drugs, and they also generally work well. SSRIs include fluoxetine (Prozac, Sarafem), paroxetine (Paxil), sertraline (Zoloft), citalopram (Celexa) and escitalopram (Lexapro)

What is a generic medication?
Wikipedia gives the following definition: “Generic drug (pl. generic drugs, short: generics) is a drug which is produced and distributed without a brand name. A generic must contain the same active ingredients as the original formulation. In most cases, it is considered bioequivalent to the brand name counterpart with respect to pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties. By extension, therefore, generics are assumed to be identical in dose, strength, route of administration, safety, efficacy, and intended use.”
Does a generic medication differ from a brand name drug?
Not much, actually. But there is a difference, of course. To see the difference more clearly we have made a table: click here

Why are generic pills cheaper than the brand name ones?
The principal reason for the reduced price of generic medicines is that the creation of the generic drug runs up less cost and therefore a lower price can be offered and still maintain profitability.
Manufacturers of generic drugs are mainly able to avoid the following three costs that brand name pharmaceutical companies incur: (1) costs associated with the research and development of the drug; (2) costs associated obtaining regulatory approval (i.e. proving safety and efficacy of a drug); and (3) marketing costs.
First, Generic manufacturers do not incur the cost of drug discovery and instead reverse-engineer existing brand name drugs to allow them to manufacture bioequivalent versions. Click here
