How To Treat Anxiety Attacks And Lack Of Motivation?

I am 55, live in Ohio and have been anxious off and on most of mr life. I am well educated I have 3 teenage children and a great husband. Every winter I get very unmotivated to do anything, I cannot sleep and I do not want to get out of bed. I think it may be time for medication what is a good medication. Should I treat anxiety or depression.
