Is Cipramil Good For Mental Illness?

I am enquiring about the medication called Cipramil, my daughter who is 22 has been prescribed this medication by her doctor - i have read what it is for etc but i was wondering if this medication is a last resort for her problems or whether there is an alternate solution. I don't think she has seen her psychologist for very long and i am concerned that at such a young age she is heading down this path of medication. Having said that my husband and I have felt for sometime that she may have some mental health issues but have found it very difficult to broach her about this subject as she can become very defensive. Anyhow is this medication ok for someone so young?
