What you need to know:
It takes time be kind to yourself.
Find a doctor willing to work for you
Get a therapist and if you have a family a family therapist too.
I've had my best luck when I have a team that shares notes. The psychiatrist prescribes meds, the therapist keeps me compliant, the PCP keeps tabs on my physical health. When I was younger my whole family had a team that shared notes. Each of us had a therapist and psychiatrist and they all worked together. So if one of us were having issues the other professionals already knew.
