I'll add sleep to this list.

Also, re: anti-depressants: the research is very mixed on the effectiveness vs. placebo[1], and the side effects may not be worth what positive effects are experienced. Many anti-depressants can actually create brain fog (which is, of course, a worthwhile price to pay if the alternative is feeling suicidal).

In general, it's wise to start with therapy and see what your health-care providers recommend from there.

for me, sleep wasn't happening and didn't come until several weeks of both therapy and antidepressants - but yes, everyone is different and different drugs work in different ways for everyone.
