Not a huge fan of drugs for even a headache unless it is a last resort

I have depression, social anxiety and situational agoraphobia. I am sick, I have a chemical imbalance in my brain. If you break your arm then you are going to put a cast on it until it is well enough to use again. I see the pills I take as a sort of cast for the stage of my life that I am going through now. My pills have helped me a lot, I know it takes many people a while to find what works for them, but if a doctor prescribes them, then they should be taken. There is nothing shameful or wrong about taking the prescribed medicine. If you mess with your dosage or whatever then that is the users problem and nothing to do with the medicine.

I also do non drug therapy too, but I had to wait for a long time.
