Can your OB prescribe depression medicine?

Marissa • I'm just as lost as anybody else • Taking my life day by day

37 weeks pregnant and my OB is the only doctor I currently see. After I give birth I would like to start depression/anxiety medicine but didn't know if my OB could prescribe it or if I need to see a different doctor for that. Also wondering if it's okay to take while breastfeeding?

I was on it about 5 years ago but hadn't felt a need for it anymore until this past year.
