If I forget to take an antidepressant once, do I waste all the treatment and start all over again?

To @Anna:
In this situation, according to the manufacturer: "If you forget to take a tablet, do not take the missed tablet. Just take the next pill at the right time." Missing one tablet should not pose a risk to the health and effectiveness of the therapy, but taking too high a dose may increase the risk of side effects. The next tablet must be taken at a fixed time and think about a way to better control the intake of the drug during the day. You can consider, for example, setting an alarm on your phone for a set time, using reminder cards or writing down information about the use of the medication in your calendar or phone after each tablet. It may be a good idea to buy a special cassette for medicines for a week, with chambers for each day of the week, which should be replenished at the beginning of each week. If you are unsure about taking the medication on a given day, you will find the answer in the case - if the pill is in the chamber with the selected day of the week, it will mean that you forgot to take it and vice versa.

I do not know what medicine is being taken because it is not described in the question, but most antidepressants are intended for use in the form of a long-term course of treatment and a single omission of the tablet does not result in the loss of the entire treatment. Some antidepressants should not be suddenly discontinued, therefore, at the time of skipping the tablet, a transient deterioration of well-being may occur.
