Therapy and meds as a package

Posted by Meltingpot on December 30, 2012, at 16:57:42

I've never quite got how taking meds and having therapy together is better than having one or the other. Surely if you are taking medication to help you feel better while you are having therapy you are not dealing with the same issues.
For instance if you are having terrible, anxiety that is not associated with anything and then you take a medication that makes the anxiety subside then when you go or the therapy in this calm, altered state you are not having to deal with the issue because it is no longer there.
I can understand how therapy can help if you are having relationship problems or financial problems or grief problems but not really for depression or anxiety which doesn't seem to have an underlying cause.
