Hey!
> I think meds are the short-term answer (and maybe long-term, for me), but therapy and changing your thought patterns is the long-term approach. Could I be wrong?
No, I don't think so. I agree with you 100%.
Although its not a popular sentiment here on p=babble. I guess people just want to believe that there really is a 'magic pill' out there for them.
Some types of depression/anxiety are purely biological of course, and there's probably a whole spectrum of 'types' of depression/anxiety, but I do think that most bog standard types of depression/anxiety fit exactly into what you are describing.
One thing I do find slightly bewildering is when people continually try to find a pill that will work for them - I wonder when/if it will occur to them that their problems might not ever be cured by a pill and that a different approach may be needed, eg therapy etc.
Kind regardsMeri
