Possible: Everyone deals with stress and depression differently. There are some excellent therapists and counselors, and with a good family/friend support system, you could possibly deal with anxiety and depression without meds. Discuss with your dr., and depending on your sepcific circumstances, thismay be an option for you. Best wishes.
