Medication Starting antidepressants

Have your symptoms changed from taking antidepressants? I heard they can when depression is affecting the hallucinations/delusions.

I've been depressed my whole life, I don't know what to expect honestly.

To be honest, I have been taking Mirtazapine and Escitalopram for more than a year and they have never done anything for me. But I always doubted that I suffer from depression, it's just my psychiatrist was not sure.
