Does anyone know if Lexapro is bad? Does it do any harm? Are there any other cures to depression and anxiety? Dealing with all sorts of things isn’t fun especially when it’s during these times we are living in. I am hesitant to trust any kind of medication that Big Pharma has pushed out to the public. Lexapro seemed to be helping but I keep hearing that it is also very harmful to take it. Does CBD oil work? Can I ween myself to CBD oil instead?

Diet, exercise, sleep and talking to other people. Joining clubs where you meet weekly also helps with a hobby you enjoy.
Social anxiety or any other anxiety is difficult because it isn't just one factor that can trigger this but many things happening in ones life.
Depression is harder to fight against because it can cascade into a negative emotional feedback loop.
The best way forward is to write down goals you want to accomplish for the day. For some people they don't need to write it down while for others it helps a lot.
Anti depressants should only, only be prescribed for those with severe cases. And even then as someone else has pointed out they DO alter brain chemistry.
When I was young I remember a family where one of their sons had a severe case. Anti depressants were ONLY prescribed to patients that had a severely imbalanced brain chemistry back then.
