Hello everyone!
This is continuing off my last post about mental health and patience. I have been struggling with depression and anxiety and just mental health issues for a long time now. I’m not officially diagnosed with anything because I haven’t been to see a therapist but this is my opinion.
I’ve been contemplating recently if therapy or medication would be more helpful in my situation.
On the one hand medication is definitely cheaper than therapy especially depending on how many sessions I would need. On the other hand, while my doctor can prescribe that kind of medicine, without a diagnostic from a licensed therapist can I really be sure that the medicine I’ll be taking will help? Or should I assume I’d need medication specific to me and my issues?
If you’d like to offer advice you may in the comments. I’m basically trying to just organize my thoughts out loud in a way and try to figure out what to do. Thank you for reading and I should be back with more resin progress soon!
