Therapy in combination with medication usually proves to be the best treatment method, especially for anxiety. It is indeed possible to live a successful life despite anxiety and depression; it's all about finding a treatment method that works for you and sticking with it (either temporarily or permanently, depending on how severe your depression and anxiety is).

SSRIs won't solve all your problems but they make getting your life together much easier. Before I started prozac I was a miserable, suicidal drug addict. I've been on it for almost three years and I'm now productive and happy for the first time in my life.
im on xanax for over 6 months,life wise im better in social situations,can have a chat no blushing or sweating,but also i started to release some of the anger that was trapped inside of me and deal better in stressful situations,but its only a cover up,it gives some new lessons how to cope with certain situations and react but at the end it only covers your personality.
