As far as making your life better, a friend of mine said anti-depressants mellow out your moods, so you don't feel the extremes anymore (happy OR sad). So that could be good or bad, depending on your personal preferences.
But anti-depressants aren't intended to cure depression. They may make you feel less depressed, but they should always be used in conjunction with therapy to address the issues that brought on/perpetuated the depression in the first place. With that said, I know they've saved many lives, and I know that many people have found them very helpful. It's best to talk to a trusted physician (I know that is becoming more and more of an oxymoron these days) about it. If they don't recommend a counseling type therapy combined with anti-depressants, they're not operating in your best interests and you should get a second opinion.
Best of luck... :hug:
