I have seen a number of therapists over the years. Honestly, very little of the therapy was worth anything. I know others have had good experience with therapists, but short of empathy, I am yet to find one that has anything that has provided benefit.

I am seeing a psychiatrist now, but not a therapist. The psychiatrist costs $160 for a 15-20 minute appointment. With so little time, we do not discuss anything in depth. He mainly just wants to keep trying different drugs. I have tried 10 different meds in the past year - most make my symptoms worse, one even caused a psychotic episode. The only thing that has helped somewhat is Lamictal, but the side effects are pretty miserable, so I keep lowering the amount.
