No. Pills.
For real, I'm not trying to be cute. Unless you're pronounced clinically depressed by a couple doctors, one should avoid the official benzo & related "happy pills".
One thing that might help, is try to make some hippy friends. You're not expected to become one of them, but they have a lot to share, wink wink.

The problem with medication for depression is that they generally have only ever been proven to help in cases of severe depression. They don't help with mild depression, but doctors are allowed to prescribe them for anything they see fit. I believe they have been over prescribed.
There are related issues, like racing thoughts and anxiety, which are different and not all that uncommon. Lorazepam is actually pretty effective for these issues.

Don't just take pills, see a therapist.
What happy pills do you recommend?
