Good day, antidepressants do not change personality, but only correct mood swings. If under the influence of a disease or some pathological conditions you were too lethargic, or impulsive, tearful, and after taking the drugs your condition became more even and calm, or there was a desire to live and move on, then this is not a change in personality, but a normalization of life 😉
