If you've used antidepressants before, how do they work?
Like if you're feeling sad, and you take them do you suddenly feel happy and forget what you were sad about?

It depends on the person. For some yes. A lot of the time it takes weeks if not months or in cases of an extreme episode,years. Usually even a lot of people get worse before they feel better while on those medications,and many are wrongly prescribed different types of medicine for different things that can trigger other underlying mental illnesses. The truth is scientists don't fully understand how the brain works nor how these medications fully affect us or why they can be so successful. You just have to be patient and preserve. Thats the best you can do
