There is only so much psych meds can do. If you feel incapable of walking alone, but capable of walking with others, then your capacity for action isn't the problem, is it? The social context is the issue and you need to look at that. I had depersonalization problems for a while after I started therapy (with my p-doc) and he did not see this as a problem meds could solve. I needed to work through the emotional issues and learn to be alone without freaking out.
I think you're lucky to have a p-doc willing to do therapy and not reduce everything to a med issue. Meds are effective for some things -- out-of-control anxiety, bipolar manias, schizophrenia, major depression. But not for others. Other problems require honest self-examimation, a trusting relationship with a therapist who knows you well.
