I have never found therapy very helpful. I think it's because my depression is genetic rather than environmental. My childhood was not perfect (no one's is), but I didn't experience the kind of trauma that would cause depression.

Mental illness is very prevalent in my family, so I'm pretty sure the cause is genetic. I can treat it with medication, but therapy doesn't really do anything.
