I read a case study today about a patient being treated by a psychiatrist and it was so clear how important the combination of therapy and doctor care is. The patient was medicated by first her primary then referred to a psychiatrist who spent 10 minutes with her at a time. The new doc spent time with her and her mother and even had her call him as much as nightly at times during her treatment. The result was it became abundantly clear that she had situational depression not clinical depression. It started with a career crisis and escalated to a divorce. The meds were dampening her ability to feel and therefore her ability to heal. She needed to experience the grief.

The doctor practices empathic therapy. The idea is to have a team working together which may included family members (I have no family or friends that could get involved.) if your lucky enough you might find a member in your area.
