Depression is a very complicated mental illness. Only a combination of meds and therapy is effective in most cases. It can take years to correct since it took years to develop. I tried pschotherapy for years before I took meds, and it didn't help my anxiety or depression. I tried yoga and meditation and excercise-didn't help much. It wasn't until I tried meds with the help of therapy that I am starting to get better.
It's not an easy battle, and there is no quick fix or cure. One needs to learn learn how to manage it without fearing or avoiding it.
