I assume that's a genuine question and that you're not trolling. Opioids are a very different class of drugs than anti depressants (including medication to treat anxiety). While people with mental issues may use opioids for self medication, no reasonable psychiatrist would ever prescribe such medication for psychological issues. Oxy and their ilk were massively pushed by Purdue and their "colleagues" as a non-addictive pain relief if applied correctly. They lied, of course, and that's where the US is now with the opioid crisis, since those drugs were massively over-prescribed. It can't be mentioned enough that if you have serious mental issues then appropriate medication may be one of the pillars to help you out of the deepest circles of hell. While it maybe a crutch (sometimes temporary, sometimes long term) it can be immensely helpful if properly prescribed and monitored and seriously be the difference between life and death. edit: slight clarification
