Anti-Depressive & Anti-Anxiety Medications

...See more Hi! I'm planning to seek consult with a psychiatrist who combines both psychotherapy and psychopharmacology in her approach to treatment. To those taking medications, can you share your experiences? What were the medications prescribed to you and what has been the effect for you? My friend shared her experience and she said they worked for her. The meds helped her sleep and somehow improved her mood. However, I've also read experiences that they had bad side effects and worsened their condition. I just want to know what to expect if ever I'd have to take medications. Thank you!

...See more Lately, I've been feeling really anxious and depressed. Actually, this has been my overall mood for years now. But it's been manageable the past years and I have been able to function, so I didn't try to seek consult. I wanted to, but I thought maybe I was just overthinking it and I don't really need to. However, since December last year, I think it's gotten worse. I've been also having a hard time to focus and function. I know I have things to do but it's like I can't move. I haven't really neglected my responsibilities but I'm struggling more to keep up these days. Is this just burnout or do you guys think I should finally seek help? Am I just overreacting that I need to see a psychologist/psychiatrist? Will medications help?
