Antidepressant medication has apparently become the most popular treatment for depression in the whole world. This paper explores relevant research data and raises questions about the beliefs related to the efficacy of the antidepressant medications. The title of this research is “Beliefs related to the efficacy of antidepressant medications: An exploratory research”. To get an answer for this question, data was collected, in a qualitative way by using interview method from different psychiatrists and clinical psychologists residing in Delhi NCR. At the end, results were concluded that when the severity is more, use of antidepressants is necessary so that the crisis situation is controlled, afterwards therapeutic methods should be used in order to completely recover the individual. But, as the antidepressant medications are a foreign agent, hence, the only use of these as a form of therapy will not completely heal the person, instead, there are more chances of relapse.Metrics
