"It is a great privilege in this life to become who we really are."
I work with those who suffer with depression and/or anxiety. You may want to consider that there is meaning in your suffering. Only you can determine what the meaning is; however, talking with a skilled counselor can speed up the process of recovery from your symptoms.
You need to be aware that medications for mental illness can sometimes be helpful; however, they can also worsen the symptoms of depression and anxiety. Sometimes their misapplication can lead to psychosis such as delusions and hallucinations.
Recent scientific reviews consider the best mode of treatment to be talk therapy and medication combined. Only you can know for sure what works for you. Close involvement with a counselor who is trained as a psychotherapist and your physician is important. Two people that you trust, who listen to you, and are aware of what you are experiencing.
