Am I wrong to think my husband should try therapy before taking medications for anxiety/depression

My husband has been dealing with severe anxiety/depression for a while now.He told his doctor about is anxiety at his annual checkup, and now the doctors going to look into some meds to prescribe for him. I’m glad he’s seeking medical help, but I feel like they’re jumping the gun. My husband hasn’t even tried speaking to a therapist. He has tried some holistic treatments at home, but he’s never consistent. I feel like taking medications should be the last resort.
