I think this is right and can go both ways, you wonder if they've given up on you, but wonder if they know that meds will help you feel better. I'm sure you're right, it's easier to do the work when you're feeling good, and if meds help you feel better then it might be the difference between being able to do the work or not. I went to the p-doc 1st and am now considering therapy, and it's odd, I wonder why in the heck I want to put myself through that again! LOL, funny how we think!
