Many people assume they can not handle their emotions and turn to medication which becomes a crutch that cripples you, we all can handle them if we empower ourselves to , big pharma wants people to doubt themselves, it's good for business they make money and you get robbed of financial and emotional strength, people also develope a false belief that the psychiatrist wants to help them ,when he/she is profiting from your dependence on them and the pills they prescribe to provide a comfortable life for them , if that does not scream conflict of intrest nothing does, stick with your therapist they sound like the good guy/gal that will actually help you becoming all you can be including emotionaly well and balanced , there are good psychiatrists out there but the system drags them down and patients don't believe they are helping unless they are slinging pills.
Be pure , be strong , be confident that whatever is bothering you can be resolved without a reliance on chemicals.
