Brief Answer:
multiple options are vailable

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for reverting back to me.

There are multiple antidepressants are available in market which can be used by adult males. Most of them can be used for once a day so the need for taking multiple tablets is not there.

For a 32 year old male the commonly used are Fluoxetine, escitalopram, venlafaxine, desvenlafaxine, bupropion to name a few.

You need to visit a psychiatrist in your city to get prescription of one or another antidepressant.

At this stage I like to assure you that depression is treatable and most of the patients who are treated show positive response with medications.

Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
If not, you may close the discussion and if possible you may rate the answer for me, so that I get a good feedback.
