Hello
I'm a little nervous. I've been lurking around for a couple days, searching and reading, and I finally got up the courage to write something.
I have GAD and panic disorder and sometimes dysthymia (sp?) but the depression is mostly a side effect of the anxiety causing me to not be able to go out or enjoy anything I do. I'm hitting a bad patch right now and I think I need to try medications or cognitive behavior therapy again. The CBT worked before, in '03-'04 so I might just go back to that. I don't like taking medications because they make me very flat. I like to have energy and they seem to rob me of it. So, I guess I'm asking what you collectively think of CBT as therapy for GAD induced depression as opposed to medications, and what kinds of medications do you think work best for panic induced depression?Anyways, nice to meet you all.
