I know I should be on medication for my OCD, ADD, depression, but I am dealthly afraid to take it.

I feel that taking these medications will effect my health in some way in the future. My mind can't grasp the idea that being happier is worth whatever health consequences are in the future.

Any advice?

ive taken meds and not taken meds. theres pros and cons to both. it depends on how bad the symptoms are. i dont think medicating the add is necessary. for ocd they will probablly give you rispridal and for the depression an antidepressant. if the depression is severe or the ocd is making you do things you shouldnt, then you should probablly get on meds.
