How do you find a balance between medication and therapy?

Hi everyone,

How are you feeling today?

Living with mental health conditions like depression or anxiety can be extremely overwhelming at times, and finding the right balance between medication, therapy, and other approaches isn’t always straightforward. What works for one person might not work for another, and it often takes a lot of trial and error to figure out what helps the most.

What has your experience been like in finding this balance? Do you rely more on therapy, medication, or a combination of the two? Have you tried other options, like meditation or physical activities?
