I was seeing a therpist as well and & have been in Psychotherpy as well and she was the one that gave me the medication therpist was there to only talk about my issue's. And the way I heard it from my doctor was that once you have depression it will stay with you and will come back again and that got me scared in the first place so i got off the medication and back off from everything. the medication they prescribed me was Effexor & Ablify and both those medication was getting me worser.
