NO.....the object to emotions is that they are our minds red flag to the fact that there is a problem that needs to be resolved in our life......when we sit down & understand those emotions, what they are that are making us feel the depression & anxiety. Only then can we really resolve the depression & the anxiety....that is assuming that the depression is caused by a situation & not strictly a chemical imbalance in the brain. If that, we still have to understand the emotions we are feeling so that we can better cope with the things that life throws at us while still trying to combat the chemical imbalance.
