There is no freaking way I'm going to talk to a therapist, for example. Not without medication. A therapist is someone that I don't trust, and yes, I'd be honest about it. I might walk away from all treatment if I had to talk to someone regularly first.
More broadly, though, it depends on what is going on with the person. There are medications that have depression or anxiety as side effects and some folks are simply going through tough situations that they cannot change. My mother took a drug for years because lowering her stress levels helped with migraines (for my mother, a tension headache triggered a migraine. Same with sinuses).
