i'm 24 and have taken anti depressants for 10 years this is a good med because it targest seritonin and noriepinephinen (sp), but their are many other choices for meds, you have to weight side effects, and the how severeity of your childs depression,and i would strongly recommend greif councling for your entire family, even if you do start meds and individual councling with your child , if cost is an issue, the county your child is in school in must pay for it by law
good luck and best wishes
