Yeah I know people who were helped immensely by meds. My mom has an anxiety disorder and so I grew up thinking that it was normal and the adult thing to worry about the littlest shit. When I moved out I was weirded out that other people did what they want when they want and didn't worry about really trivial things like what if someone calls while they're gone or meticulously planning the exact time they'll leave. Anyway, she went on anxiety meds and she's like a new person. She still gets worried about stupid shit but its no where near the level it used to be.
Myself I benefited more from counselling. But I won't knock what helps for other people.
And awareness is crucial because society still sees the mentally ill as dangerous on one hand or fake on the other.
