You may or may not have had experience with anti depressants. But in the cases referenced in the article (mild to moderate depression), especially during pregnancy, the choice is always with the patient (at least with any good physician). I believe the point being made here is consult with a doctor, since she may have some insight to your specific situation that will help you make an informed decision.

If a physician is forcing or heavily influencing your decision, then its likely that the depression is severe, that you don't have the best physician, or some other unusual circumstance.
