Answer by Travelin’ Jack
There are alternative remedies to prescribed meds. For example:
1) Depression is usually a long term example of life built stressers…therefore it may necessitate long term emotional therapy which involves a fellow human who has the skills to be patient and willing to be in for the “long haul”.
2)Meds should be a last resort, unless there are physiological factors that demand them. ( i.e.: bipolar disorder, clinical depression, etc.)
3)Meditation CLASSES- as in, go to courses that train relaxation therapy.
4) A strong support group- being you or family or fellow support groups.
