Suggest Remedies For Depression And Anxiety

I've been on depression and anxiety medications for a long time, but they don't really help with the episodes. I constantly feel down, or very irritable and hot headed. How often should I go for a medication adjustment and or is there a more natural way to feel more balanced?
