> My parents put me on Prozac and won't let off of it until I move out of their house. I've tried to stop taking it, but the depression always comes back. My parents won't let me see a therapist because they think he or she will mess with my mind. I want to try therapy because I hate being dependant on medication. What should I do?
If your parents want you to handle your disease, Therapy can be a very important part of it. Their concern over the doctors messing with your mind is probably due to lack of knowledge. Often in therapy issues are explored such as family, childhood, moral and ethical subjects, and just personal feelings. I would suggest trying it and maybe bringing your parents along to join, it might be helpful for them!
