Is Trintellix Good for Major Depression? Trintellix Pros and Cons

For most people, experiencing loneliness or sadness is a normal reaction to dealing with life struggles or losses. Unfortunately, sometimes those feelings fail to resolve themselves and become overwhelming. They may produce physical symptoms that interfere with handling daily activities and enjoying life. When these conditions persist for more than two weeks, you may be dealing with a common but serious mood disorder known as depression. Depression is a treatable mental health disorder. Mental health care providers often use a combination of therapy and medication to alleviate the symptoms of depression and help people develop the coping skills they need to enjoy life.
