DEAR DEIDRE: MY self-esteem has been on the floor since I started taking antidepressants – I’ve gained four stone and counting.
I always used to take pride in my appearance but now I can’t look at myself in the mirror without crying.
I’m a 29-year-old man and I’ve struggled with depression for as long as I can remember.
When the doctor prescribed me antidepressants I felt so relieved, I thought I’d finally get a better quality of life.
Yet they’ve only presented me with more problems.
