(note to self: add neurosis to the list) Why don't they say what they're thinking? It's hard work digging to always have to come up with an answer. Are there any other types of therapies? Tell me about it. Have you done group stuff?O.K. : i'll give some answers. I believe diagnosing being important too. I believe that because of personal experience, since i've been misdiagnosed, given benzos at high doses and antypshicotic like haldol instead of AD: the outcome was that i grew worse year by year and got totally insane in 1993.
I met a pdoc doing the right diagnosis (major depression with psychotic features), giving me
AD instead of benzos. I managed to quit AD also when i grew better.
I did Cognitive Therapy: i think it helped, although i believe that a warm, caring pdoc being the best thing: i know, this is pretty rare unfortunately, (the profession being infested with emotional sadist: i'm talking about psychologists also).
I did undergo a lots of therapies, psychoanalis was the worst: the psychoanalist was stupid already knowing what she was telling me, She was a sadist too). Gestalt therapy : no improvement whatsoever; talk-therapy with a pdoc: same as above.
The only therapy that made something for me was self-interrogation, feeling supported by a caring person and cognitive therapy. I never underwent a group therapy but i think i'd benefit from that also. That's all i guess.....Anna Laura
