Hi Jacq,
I understand where you are going with this but depression is not just a behavioral illness. It is biochemical, as well as situational. In fact, I think quite the opposite is true. I think the depression would get worse, and "leak out" in other areas of your life if you didn't have a T to share i with. I know for me, if I didn't have T I would be more lonely, more depressed and less functional.
Do you feel like you aren't making the progress you would like?
Take care.
