I agree with the last resort bit when it comes to antidepressants. Even/also use buspirone (Buspar) short-term, so only when you really need.
Anxiolytics, including antidepressants, are a bit like boy cried wolf: use it sparingly. Then you might just as well take something that works quickly and you can safely stop taking after a (relatively; focussed attempt to lastingly improve anxiety-wise by other, safer/better, means) short while.

Mania kills cells. Brain cells die. Memories become more reduced conceptually, making more efficient use of limited means. Memories shape our reality. Our memories are more or less split in two by abstractions, conceptual reductions. Mood states with memories, concepts, attached. Memories of pain and those of joy. It causes instability, changeability. Fearing that will leave an emptiness between pain and joy and a greater divide.
