I had a social worker therapist for my first one who I was seeing just prior to my breakdown and then afterwards as well...my pdoc put me on meds for my bp and some sleep med too...she kept telling me I shouldn't take the sleep meds but I should drink wine every night for sleep...after the second time she made the suggestion I told my pdoc and he was very forceful in saying I had to quit seeing her and find someone else. I found the therapist at his office who I have been seeing ever since, for 9 years now. I wish I had found her first, maybe it wouldn't have taken me 7 months to get through that depressive episode. None have lasted that long since then thank goodness.
