I wouldn't like to feel "drugged", but new medications can help people who are very anxious, worried, or down and do not make them feel drugged or make them addicted. It is hard for some of us older folks to realize that it isn't a lack of character that causes us to have these symptoms.

Unfortunately many of those folks live alone and don't have someone to MAKE them seek help.

It is hard to help people in that situation, especially if they think "It will pass".

It is much easier for folks around someone who needs some professional help to see they need it then the person who needs it to see it.
