Drugs rarely cure any disease. However, drugs can save your life.
I don't believe in taking any drug, psychotropic or not, daily just to live. I would seek out a more holistic approach and try to determine the root cause of it. Pills can make you happy, but so can success by hard work and a stable meaningful life. Clearly the happiness in the former is not equal to the latter. Homeostasis and serenity doesn't come easy.
I would think most people have no true desire or ambition to change their life and thus succumb to the notion that things will always be how they are. Personally I am disgusted by the concept of little kids on psychotropic drugs and doctors force feeding damaging chemicals to desperate patients while collecting kickbacks. If anyone knows anything about drug abuse, you'll know that psychotropic drugs are the most harmful and addictive known to man (i.e. barbiturates such as Xanax).
I would highly suggest you watch the movie, What the Bleep Do We Know? It has many profound moments and illustrates clearly what addiction is while enlightening you to the true power you and your thoughts have. Stuart Hameroff (associate of Roger Penrose) is in it. The website is at:

If you do take psychtropic drugs, you should definitely try to find time to watch the movie. Good luck.
