I began therapy/counseling three years ago for relationship issues I was having at that time. Over the course of these three years there were many developments in my life -- finally was able to bring some issues with my past out into the light --- found my birth mother and her family -- just a lot of things.

When i first began therapy it was hard for me to openly talk with my T -- but after a lot of changes in my life I became very stressed and became more dependent/abusive of alcohol that intensified my issues. My T had talked to me about medication to help with my depression and anxiety - but I was very reluctant to take it. It became apparent that I needed medication and my T referred me to a doctor that could prescribe medication.

To make this long story short --- I have asked both my T and the dr. how prescribes my medication what they have diagnosed me with because several of the medications I have been prescribed are for bi-polar disorder. Both T and dr. say I do not have bi-polar -- just severe depression and boughts of anxiety. Right now I am on Wellbutin and Effoxr (300 mg a piece) and Seroquil. I just read today where Seroquil is prescribed for bi-polar disorder.

I'm really confused - as my T and dr. still say I do not have bi-polar. How do I find out the truth?

Also, my husband has told me that I am worse now than when I even began Therapy much less the medication. He doesn't feel either or helping and since he has called a lawyer to ask questions about a divorce - I don't think I am any better.

I am really confused.
