I think that meds work for some people - and if people need them and they work for them, then that is great. But I also think that we over-pathologise and over-medicate to a huge extent.

Congrats on finding a therapist that works for you.
Sometimes it's good to go on meds, to give you a break, so alternative therapies can have time to work.
I never wanted to go on meds, then decided I was sick of struggling along, went on meds, while I developed coping strategies and then came off the meds.
I agree we over medicate ourselves, but sometimes you just need to be kind to yourself.
WMMD:- not thinking about tomorrow, focusing on today, and listening to a segment on Radio National about the benefits of meditation practices - a nice gentle reminder that i need to meditate more!
