Well for me, and I do suffer from clinical depression, I had to approach it from several angles, including becoming actively involved in AA. I was able to work through a lot of emotional issues through the 12 steps, and my social anxiety definitely lessened.

I am one of those people who probably will require antidepressants the rest of my life due to a chemical imbalance, and during those periods where the depression really settles in badly, I also attend therapy on a regular basis.

So for me, it's medications, AA, and therapy when needed.
