Do you think that meditation can cure mental health issues?

Hi everyone,

This is a pretty strong debate, basically, I suffer from mental health issues E.G. depression, anxiety, irrational thoughts and I was just wondering if meditation would be able to help that?

I've been meditating on and off for the last few months and have seen some positive side effects, but what I really want to know is if there's anyone here that's actually been "cured" so to speak of these issues?

Thank you in advance.
