Hi, Lucy.  Do you have a psychiatrist and have you tried any medications before?  The frustrating thing about them is that some of them work for some people, and to varying degrees.  I think if a person is feeling severely depressed and/or anxious, it's certainly worth a try to see if something would help.  Have you tried therapy?  Doing both is usually the most helpful.
