Not discounting meds as helpful.
Saying not to make it a first resort if you're thinking about seeking solutions to your anxiety/panic/depression.
Field different solutions first, including diet and lifetstyle. Some people are living pretty unhealthily and don't consider how that can be linked to how they feel.
If symptoms are extreme and other things haven't worked for you, yes medication can be very helpful.
Yes, they primarily treat symptoms, and depending on which drug therapy, they can create other unwanted symptoms as a result.
For those that it has worked successfully for, that's great. Taking nothing away.
I'm offering alternative ideas for those that don't know where to begin with tackling the issues they might be experiencing.
