There's no right answer to that question. Assuming you have unipolar
depression and not something more complicated, most physicians would
start therapy with an SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor) -
e.g., Prozac, Paxil, Zoloft, Celexa, Lexapro, etc. There is no "right"
antidepressant for everyone, so I can't comment beyond that.
