How Can Depression And Anxiety Be Treated?

I ve been ordered to report to federal prison at the end of the month and am anxious/depressed about this, disappointed every morning that I m still here. My sister takes Cymbalta for her migraines and has had a positive effect on her mood as well. She suggested I go to my primary care doctor and ask for a prescription.
