Depression hits all ages and I imagine being told your suffering depression may be difficult at such a young age. The good thing is that you will get the correct treatment to help you overcome it. Follow your doctors advice so you can start getting better as you are going to have brilliant times ahead. What was going on with you prior to your diagnosis?
If you have any questions there are lots of lovely people here to help you
Wishing you a speedy recovery and please stay in touch xx

What type of symptoms do you have ?
And don't be ashamed if you have weird odd feelings and thoughts cause every one has had it TRUST ME because I'm one of them people.
I'm on cipramil 15 mil I started off on 10 for 2 weeks and then upped the dose 2 weeks ago
All up I've been on the medication for 4 weeks.
Keep talking about it (with friends and family) make sure you have good support (that is the best thing to have) keep coming on here if you have any other questions to ask.....and if you find any negative comments just ignore them and go back to the people who gave you the right positive supportive advice.....
