I've dropped out of this "discussion," since it seems to have degenerated to some extent into a "Don't you DARE question whether the drugs I took were necessary; if they weren't I can't hang onto the image of myself as a victim who desperately needed them" Brooke Shields kinda thang. I just wanted to say that it's reassuring to hear your point of view, and understand that some therapists are *still* more concerned with actually helping patients than with either getting them out of the office quickly by writing a quick prescription or worse, just making a quick buck by writing the same prescription. The right therapy is the right therapy. Sometimes it involves drugs; sometimes it does not. My concern is that too many doctors aren't interested enough in the welfare of their patients to find what the right therapy is. It would take too much of their time. So they just write a prescription. Thanks for being one of the "other guys," the ones who remind us what medical science was *supposed* to be like before it turned into the fast path to a Mercedes and a country club membership. If my brother had run into someone like that, instead of some doctor who gave him ten minutes of his time and then shoved him out of the office with a prescription for Prozac in his hand, he might still be alive.
