For me, at my worst, the medication is way better than none. My disease is treatment resistant, chronic, atypical, double depression with anxiety. When you can't get out of bed or off the floor, it is pretty hard to make progress. SSRIs and SNRIs only added to the amotivation. And any kind of talk therapy doesn't have a chance if you can't crawl to the session. At several points, if not for my kid and MAOIs, I would not be among you.
Just me,
Jedi
