Is there anybody that has never taken antidepressants?

Question

I’m 32F, never even thought that I’ll be taking antidepressants. Yet, I already had to take them twice in my life. Started couple of years ago after Covid, took them for 6 months at low dose. Then, postpartum dose was doubled and been taking for like 6-9 months. I always fight the idea of me taking them and trying to just naturally manage my emotions. But sometimes it feels like an everyday fight with myself, with sadness, low mood, isolation. I’m thinking of options - keep fighting with myself or take another course? P.S. none of my family members have ever taken antidepressants. So I’m thinking should I even try to take them again? I appreciate your opinion.
