So far therapy and meds have not really done a lot for me...I know I've had Depression and Anxiety since a young age just not sure when exactly I first started experiencing symptoms of those. But yeah was going to therapy for that during high school, for a time thought I was doing well enough to quit the therapy...then of course rather soon after that something happened that caused me PTSD which entirely set me back and since then it doesn't seem like anything really helps. I take valium for anxiety, which is nice for when I'm on the verge of a panic attack or need to mellow out because my minds trying to re-inact the traumatic event. Haven't been helped by any meds for the depression though, only thing so far I find to provide relief from that is cannabis but still giving the pharmacutical crap a go...if they've got something that actually makes me feel better I am all for it, but thus far its not a pill that helps me through the depression.
I think I could be what one could refer to as treatment resistant though the term itself irritates me a little since it seems to almost imply the individual is refusing helpful treatment or intentionally resisting improving their mental state or something....though I know it actually means when various treatments/therapy aren't working to alleviate the symptoms. I don't really expect my mental problems to 'go away' just still working on trying to cope with it and handle it as best I can.
