yeah, even my therapist says that my meds are only supposed to "help"--but if I dont take the steps to do help myself and make some life changes, then I might as well not even take the meds. I take an anxiety class and a depression class at the same clinic, and even the ones leading the classes tell us the same thing.
It's like if you take medicine for pneumonia, if you are still not eating healthy or resting, and running around barefoot in the rain, and such, then the meds are of no value. Same thing with antidepressants.
