A vital part of treating mood and anxiety disorders is the use of antidepressants with a form of psychotherapy. This combination shows to have the more success in treating depression and anxiety disorders and also preventing a relapse in the future.
Choosing a form of psychotherapy is fairly easy because certain therapies are better to treat certain behaviors, but when it comes to choosing and sticking to an antidepressant, thats when a big problem can arise.

Millions of people continuously ask which the best antidepressant is, but the answer depends on who is taking the antidepressant; everyone will react differently to all of the antidepressants. I did some research on online pharmacists and found which are the top 7 antidepressants, here I will share them with you in their ranking order and also I will write a description of each.

1. Lexapro: is cleaner version of Celexa, a SSRI (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor). Lexapro seems to be effective in treating Depression and Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD).
