medication is not the only treatment there is various kinds of therapy talk therapy, light therapy, group therapy, there are herbal remedies some people find helpful and of course in some states you can get medical marijuana for some of those conditions and sometimes that proves to be effective for that person...I have GAD(generalized anxiety), PTSD, Depression and aspergers syndrome and the only medications I've been taking for a while are valium for anxiety attacks and trazodone to help me sleep sometimes.
The are alternatives to medication and people have many reasons not to take medication...but it would be a lot to list all those. Though I am on SSI and never heard of having to take medication to get it, not even sure I was when I initially applied.
