My mom has struggled with clinical depression almost my entire life. I always did not believe that it was out of her control. Doctors told her the chemicals in her brain were malfunctioning and she needed medication for that. I always felt that was a bunch of lies just to sell her some legal drugs. I mostly feel the same way now about mental health.
We all medicate ourselves a little. Most of us wake up and have coffee to feel more happy. At the end of the day you might have wine or some kind of alcohol to take the edge off and sleep better. There are legal and easy "drugs" to take. I love drinking sweet tea to make me feel more upbeat. Is medication really needed? That is between you and God. I don't think it is necessary at all.
Make yourself happy in other ways. Change jobs if you can. Your boss is probably a major cause of your anxiety or depression. There are lots of other bosses you can have if you try to change. Maybe you would benefit from taking a long or short walk every day. Maybe cooking more and eating less fast food would help.
In the book of Daniel it says how some godly men only ate vegetables and drank water. They became healthier and wiser then all the other men. Why not try that before trying medication?
Getting 10 minutes of direct sun every day can greatly improve your mental health as well. Most of us are moles that hide in a hole. Get out in the sun. You will feel better. :)
Most people who think it is just a mental health issue are actually spiritually lost. God gives you those mental issues to alert you that you need to seek him. Seek God rather then a pill. Maybe your pills help you some, but God can and will help you a ton. Seek after God. Desire to know him. Then you will have peace and fullness of life.
May God bless you!
