      No, but to know if it might help you can do Becker/Hamiltons test (online, are used in medical diagnosis). Antidepressants are effective for severe depression and escitalopram is better than placebo for mild depression.

      The first weeks will be hard (4-6) but then it might start working. You should also check the side effects of ssris
