I've tried to be a compliant, cooperative patient. Years of compliance and cooperation have kept me alive, but they have not 'restored' me. The best my meds seem to do is help me not care I'm dysfunctional.

Teen Idle, when you tell your therapists and doctors that what they are doing is not working for you, how do they react?

(My observation is that most of these professionals have a distinct "progress bias," believing patients can't help but become better by attending therapy and following their directions. When confronted by contrary evidence, they either delude themselves into thinking they see actual progress, or they chide the patient for the failure to progress.)
