Jay,
I know exactly what you mean!
My doc told me I just needed to "think more positively"! Yes, it's true that would be considered part of CBT, which is not his deal as he is not a therapist. But that was his only advice as he wrote out a scrip for me. I was not only offended, I was surprised as it was for an MAOI, and he did not even mention all the dietary restrictions. Good think I already knew.
But saying "just think more positively" to someone with depression is like saying, "just make more insulin" to someone with diabetes. Give me a break! If that were all it took, we'd all feel great!
