tex thank you for your input...my doctor does not know about the physciatrist visits because they were ordered by the state when i had applied for disability...depression is not my only medical problem...but i do agree that some doctors do not know how to treat depression, the lexpro i'm taking i found out is for anxiety, which i do have also, but it's not for depression, i just wasnt' sure on how to approach him about this or should i just seek a phsciatrist instead of even meantioning to my family physcian...i guess the truth is i'm afraid of being a test product since most doctors don't treat depression. Did your therapist help you the most instead of your family physcian? Thank you for responding
