I hate how heavily drugs are pushed on us

Maybe Im just unlucky but it feels like the only treatment or help people ever suggest is just more and more drugs. If Im depressed with clinical depression, I need drugs. If Im upset that Im in poverty, they’re not going to help me with things like housing or even just offer kind advice about money, just tell me I need more drugs. I need to up my dosage, change them whatever just not address the actual problem. Even doctors are like this, if Im stressed that everything is falling apart they’re not going to point me to resources or anything just bump up my dosage. I just want help that’s not a prescription. Antidepressants aren’t the solution to every single problem for people with depression but thats all everyone seems to think we need.
