Is there any medicine that can give me happy hormones and does not need a doctor's prescription?

Things are becoming more depressing every day and I can't afford for professionals and don't want to jump to the last resort or drugs. Is there a medicine that can make me happy if I take it in proper doses and does not require a doctor's prescription?

Just mentioning this because I see all the others: spicy food. Your brain makes happy chemicals to help with the pain, apparently.

Adrenaline and endorphins, specifically.
