Is there a med that truly uplifts your spirits ? I mean you know how pain meds can give you feeling of euphoria in order to mask pain. Is there something for mild depression that will , I guess, keep your spirits up So to speak until Chou are feeling better. I don t know if that is stupid question or not. Thanks

Hi thanks for contacting HCM...
I can understand your concern....
For anxiety and depression best is to avoid drugs....
Regular yoga and exercise good one for stress as by exercise endorphin released .
So exercise is best antidote for it.....
Try to avoid situation that provoke anxiety.
Whenever problem try to solve it...
Behavioural therapy with counselling by psychologist is good therapy for it....
If still needed anxiolytic drug like alprazolam can be useful....
Fluoxetin like SSRI drug good for depression.
Hope your concern solved
