Hey there, I'll start with the how will it help me/how does it work question. It depends on what medication it is, but each one works on a certain brain chemical(s) to either increase or decrease it or your body's reaction to it which will in turn affect your mood. In most cases medication takes 2-4 weeks to start working. Everyone responds differently to different medication. I don't take any, but SSRI's are the most common and it might take awhile to figure out what works best for you.
