Dr. Jillan Rowbotham, D.O.

Medications classified as antidepressants or antianxiety medications work by affecting the neurotransmitters in the brain, chemicals that help transmit signals. Though lifestyle changes and seeing a therapist can help many with mild symptoms, if your depression or anxiety persists despite this (or it prevents you from being able to take these steps) it does not mean that you failed or that you just didn't try hard enough. Sometimes you need some additional help for a time and that is okay.
