I personally believe medication is helpful, not as helpful as talk therapy especially with a license psychiatrist. Nothing else helps solve a problem more than talking it out. However the proper medication while going through these months of on going therapy is necessary. There is no better relief than finding the answers. You may not even realize the problem begins with you, whether it is someone else's fault or not. I suggest starting with your history, get a journal and write about your child hood days. No matter how frustrating and painful this may be, it is essential. Write about your parents and school, who your friends were, what you liked and disliked. If anyone has any advice please comment on this post, as time goes on we will repost and advance our findings.

Personally, I had an idyllic childhood, then at age 19, had a mental breakdown, with no known cause. It could have been that I was at an out of state college, far away from friends and family, but it was a severe mental breakdown which took years of finding the right medicine. Medicine helped me tremendously.

Everyone is on a unique path, though. I realize some people definitely need to explore their childhoods and talk through things in their life, too. Something I discovered in talk therapy was my aversion to handling life's details. If I had discovered this sooner, I may not have been fired from so many jobs.

Another thing talk therapy helped with, was discovering how deeply I was hurt by the discrimination against my mental illness.

My mental illness was more pronounced, but it didn't appear until I was 19 years old.

Everyone is definitely on a unique path, each of us.

That's the beauty of humanity, the beauty of psychcentral!
