Medication is just a complement. It won't help without therapy. At all. In fact, some people get therapy without the medication and it works fine, but the opposite doesn't work. Because medication isn't a problem solver, it's just a mood stabilizer to allow you to work on the problem in a way you couldn't by yourself.

I think there are good therapists and bad therapists. Likewise, personal taste and the way you connect to them also influences it. If they have a mood disorder, I think it is important that they get help.

Psychiatrists are doctors. Psychologists aren't. I think they should try to give it another shot and see how they feel.
