People keep saying this stuff, and I sort of shake my head a little bit. The stigma against using medication to help with mood problems is just goofy.
Cognitive therapy is also good. But the notion that "medication" isn't the answer is just silly. The brain is complicated, and it doesn't always work the way it's supposed to. Psychoactive drugs are common, safe, and helpful in many instances. There are people (I know one personally) who
would not be alive if it weren't for medication.
So let's not overgeneralize--this is the internet, and most of us aren't doctors. It's worth seeing a doctor to see if there's medication that will help in the long term. There's no reason not to also "re-train" your brain, but if something helps, I don't know why you wouldn't do it.
