In this article it explains how patients with mental illness are usually treated with
antidepressant pills or as some people call them happy pills. Its usually not recommended to
the patients that only have mild case of depression for their own health. Individuals with mild
depression are offered psychosocial therapy or psychological therapy. There are four different
type of treatments therapist will prescribe their patients if they have high case of depression,
anxiety, and stress. Antidepressants treats depression, anxiety, hopelessness, and lack of energy.
Anti-Anxiety treats anxiety and panic disorders. Mood-Stabilizing; treat bipolar disorder.
Antipsychotic; treat psychotic disorder like schizophrenia. Some people doesnt recommend
depressant pills because they can be a hazard to a human body, but of course everyone is
different. I chose this article because it explains the different type of medication.
