Causes of Addiction: Does Taking Anti-Anxiety/depression Meds Make Me Weak?

Question by Olive: Does taking anti-anxiety/depression meds make me weak?
I always hear about people who conquered problems on their own but i caved and went to see a therapist and after a month she told me my anxiety and depression were to serious and sent me to a psychiatrist to start anti-anxiety/depression meds… I beat myself up because I feel like it makes me weak and I’m a stupid whiney baby who can’t handle their problems… Does taking these make me a weak person?

Best answer:

Answer by Melissa
Depression can have physical symptoms and biological causes that can’t be treated with therapy alone. People who call you weak are probably ignorant or uninformed about the science behind depression–it’s not just “oh I have problems I can’t handle and so I feel sad–woe is me.” If you haven’t responded to therapy alone, then taking an anti-depressant is no different than taking, say, Lisinopril for high blood pressure.
