When it comes to mental health such as depression or anxiety many doctors will recommend some kind of medication to help you with your mental health if other methods do not work. This is not always the first option for your doctor until other options are tried though.

Do you take any kind of medication for your mental health? 

I myself take Fluoxetine and Amitriptyline for my Fibromyalgia which helps with pain, migraines, sleep, and also depression, and anxiety.
