Hi I'm really anxious and a little depressed about my development and I'm looking for a honest answer from people so I know how old I really do appear as. I've was on antidepressants for many years so I'm anxious whether they have done something to stunt my growth. Sometimes people still speak to me like a child, I want to know whether there's any truth to it so I can confirm my suspicians about my development.

    anti depressants don't stunt your growth, they inhibit certain neurotransmitters from over acting in your brain so that your brain function is as near normal as the chemical dose allows.  If you are concerned about mental development, we all have room for improvement with mental health problems.

    Honestly in twenty years you will appreciate looking younger. That would be a gift.
