If this is true, that means that most anti-depressants aren't doing what they're intended to do. Medication may not be the answer either.
In speaking with many of my psychology colleagues, they argue for CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy). It requires regular work, but leads to long lasting benefits if done properly. |
Was going to post this as soon as I read the post... Medications and our understanding of them is ever-evolving. While it's hard to always keep up on this stuff, it's important not to fall into a trap of blindly following a Dr's direction without being sure they're fully understanding your situation and the options available for treatment. Drs are like everyone else - there are those that are excellent at what they do, and there are those that basically punch in / punch out.
