Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. Several researches and past experiences show that depression cannot be cured only with the help of medicines. A combination of medicines, psychotherapy, meditation and exercise can have a positive effect on depression and thereby you will be able to manage your depression with ease. You should advise your friend to consult a psychiatrist before taking any decisions. Self medication and self diagnosis can be fatal.
