I am in my late 20s, and I am able to function without antidepressants, but there is a constant brain fog and lack of clarity in many cases. I also have Generalized Anxiety Disorder, which is worse than depression for me. 

So I am always on and off medications, because firstly I don't wanna be addicted to them and secondly, they have side effects. Also, long term use of theirs can cause Kidney disease, increase in heart attack risk and similar stuff, whereas not using may lead to Alzheimer's and shit. 

I have no idea what to do, because I am still young and I don't wanna be dependent on these medications. Can somebody please help?
