Is there a point when someone is too depressed to benefit from therapy? I don't know why I am going other than pdoc's suggestion. Maybe the "right" meds need to start working first. The only thing I can remember after therapy is that she lets me talk. I really don't have anyone else to talk to. (ECT robbed me of both short and long term memory.) But isn't this a terrible waste of healthcare dollars- just to have someone to talk to?
