Problem is that the real underlying reasons for these diagnosis are usually so deeply hidden within the person that real help seems to seldom be found. Dealing with symptoms in no way solves the real cause.

In my case, meds did not solve the underlying cause of the depression or anxiety, thus no help but major side effects that actually made my situation worse not better either.

Finally left that environment & depression didn't follow (clue #1 for me) then I found therapy that helped me process all the crap that seemed to have caused the depression I had experienced.
Connecting the dots & doing the work with the guiding ear of my wonderful T really helped me heal
