What helps you with anxiety and depression?

Do you prefer medication or therapy? I was referred to somewhere last year but they got me on some medicine before therapy so I gave up. I wanted to talk to someone. Not take medicine.

For me, both are necessary.

But I think it varies.
There's plenty of evidence that anxiety can be cured with CBT and talk therapy.

Some people's depression has neurological causes; for them the right drug is the only relief.
It also depends on severity. Some is manageable. The most extreme forms are life threatening.
