Don't feed the stigma. If the meds help, continue to take them and ignore the ignorance of your family.
I am mentally ill. I have bipolar illness and I am very open about it. I also have an IQ of 182. I have my masters degree and my PHd. Mental Illness is what it is. And yes, forms of anxiety disorders fall into that category.
Arguing with your family is only going to cause you more stress and may lead to more anxiety. They are not worth it.
