Anxiety and depression differ from each other, but they both share a common trait. People who suffer from anxiety are so downcast and fell psychological discomfort as depressed ones. Natural substances and ways of treatment are preferred by far. But sometimes the problem goes far and it seems natural preparations do not work in consequence of different reasons (age, tolerance for chemicals, grave condition). Therethrough sometimes patients with anxiety and depression symptoms need drugs. The joint name for these drugs is antidepressant medication; they include some elements which take antidepressant effect.

There are some groups of these meds and they should be taken on doctor’s orders strictly. Each of these drugs affects at least one of the brain's three neurotransmitters, so only a specialist can pick up and order the necessary one. Remember: each antidepressant med has its own particular effect and side effects. Never resort to self-treatment!

Well, on the one hand the penny dropped: you have a problem (anxiety or depression) and doctor treats you. Antidepressant medications are made for depressed people, you will take them if you have a depression is that any better? Of course better if you consider your organism as a machine. The scheme: conk out – fix is not convenient for a human organism and especially for psyche aspects. So, on the other hand you will try to tread down your depression, without consideration that any physiological problem is a symptom of any problem and disorder in your life.

Federal regulators said that clinical trials of popular antidepressants such as Prozac, Paxil and Zoloft show a greater risk of the disease aggravation, to the extent of suicide. Today, lots of psychiatrists speak in favor of more careful use of the antidepressant medicines.

Anxiety and depression can be treated, but if you won’t listen to yourself, prefer not to get outside of a problem, it will get back sooner or later. Think twice about the real course of depression in your life. Think all the more about the meds necessity. Even if there is no causal link between antidepressants and suicidality, the fact remains that taking meds you do nothing about your physiological problems. Apply energies and you will definitely notice small improvements to your overall health and well being. There are a lot of other ways of treatment that are so effective, though they may require great efforts. But the great benefit you’ll get in pulling through the depression yourself is the ability to self-control and self-righteousness!
