What About Drugs for Anxiety and Depression?
Summary:
As a counselor, I'm often asked if drugs can help with anxiety and depression. My response is both yes and no.Yes, drugs can offer short-term relief. No, they aren't a long-term solution.
Understanding the Causes
Physical Causes of Anxiety and Depression
Our bodies fall out of balance when we neglect proper nutrition and exercise. Processed foods loaded with chemicals, sugar, and pesticides can deplete essential nutrients and cause stress, leading to anxiety and depression. Our bodies are designed to thrive on pure, clean, organic foods and water. Relying solely on medication without improving diet and exercise is like using a Band-Aid on a deep wound.Emotional Causes of Anxiety and Depression
Emotionally, anxiety stems from dysfunctional thoughts?"like believing you're not good enough or need to be perfect. These thoughts focus on external qualities like appearance and performance rather than internal virtues such as kindness and gratitude. When we choose kindness, compassion, and gratitude, we foster inner peace. Anxiety often signals that we're deceiving ourselves; truth brings calm, while lies fuel anxiety.Depression, on the other hand, arises from neglecting self-care. Ignoring your needs, failing to speak up, self-criticism, and making others responsible for your happiness can lead to depression. Just as a neglected child might feel depressed, ignoring and judging your inner self can have the same effect. Prioritizing others over yourself can diminish self-worth and lead to depression.
The Role of Drugs
Taking drugs without addressing underlying dysfunctional thoughts and self-neglect is ineffective. However, temporary use of medication might offer a chance to start the necessary inner work. Many people find that once they begin self-care, they dislike the numbing effect of drugs, which can dull both pain and joy. By learning to manage their feelings and needs, they often prefer to experience all emotions fully.A Better Approach
Most individuals I work with can avoid drugs by adopting self-care practices, both physically and emotionally. Many find processes like Inner Bonding more powerful in healing anxiety and depression than medication.If you're unwilling to take responsibility for your emotional well-being, drugs might seem appealing. However, if genuine peace and joy are your goals, drugs aren't the solution.
