Why do people think they need anti-anxiety meds? Usually, it is due to some extreme emotion they are feeling that they no longer want to feel. It might be fear. It could be anger. It might be loneliness.
Does the medication work? It's hard to say. It might numb their brain a bit so that they feel less. Most people on a medication appear to be zombie like. It is a way to turn off the emotions mechanically rather than you turning them off yourself. Medication is for people who have not trained their mind to be more disciplined.
Some people are unable to turn off the negative thinking. They cannot stop the crazy thoughts from racing. Their mind often goes to the worst case scenario, and they can't help it.
What is the source of the problem? It could be their own inability to control their thoughts. It could also be demons invading their minds. The Bible says, "Do not let the sun go down on your anger and do not give Satan a foothold." If you stay in your anger for too long, that can give Satan and demons full access to your mind. At some point you need to tell them to leave, and you are able to do that. The only way demons are allowed to invade your mind is if you let them in.
Fear is also a major spirit Satan uses to torment human beings. The Bible says, "You did not receive a spirit of fear but of power, love and a sound mind." That means that some people do receive a spirit of fear. Why? Because they want it. Why would anyone want a spirit of fear? It entertains them. That is the simplest explanation. They find normal life too boring, and they want to be afraid all the time. It is like watching a non-stop horror movie, but you have made your life a horror movie. These people enjoy the adrenaline rush. They enjoy never feeling bored. There is always something exciting or scary happening, because they imagine that there is.
The final main negative feeling that people may want to numb is from a spirit of heaviness. That is what we call depression. It is a feeling like a heavy cloud over your head. You can't get rid of it. You just feel tired a lot and sad. There is medication to somewhat fix that. I have always preferred coffee, but for those who don't want to drink coffee, anti-depressants may help.
The best solution is to "submit to God, resist the devil and he will flee from you." Don't allow yourself to think that Satan is your friend. He only wants to hurt you. Sure he might entertain you and keep life from being boring for a season, but in the end he will bite you like a snake. Stay away from Satan and his demons. Your brain will thank you. And it will be nice to not have to get on medication.
