Does Depression Therapy help someone that doesn't want to be there?

I quit therapy as I got sick of just being drugged, getting fat as the drugs made me hungry, and nothing getting resolved. It's been a year since I seen my Psychiatrist and I have no plans of returning to her. She never wanted to talk to me, her thing was to just refill my Prozac. I don't see that as adiquate treatment. Now my husband wants me to see a therapist and I seriously don't want to be there. I believe all that therapy would offer me is smoke and mirrors. As with many things in my life I really have no choice in the matter as my husband got a list of therapist off my insurrance provider, taken to one and have my husband sit in their office and give them a list of things that he feels is wrong with me.

Do NOT bring your husband to your appointments, and do not take any medications that make you fat. In your case. But keep going there and do take medications---it takes patience and strength, and without treatment, you'll most likely end up spinning your wheels, getting nowhere, stuck in your same bad situations. You have the chance to turn your life around--take it. But don't bring your husband, and if he tries to make you think anything is wrong with you do NOT listen.

You can never really get help if you don't trust and/or like your therapyst. I just quit recently as well. My PCP is better than anyone I talk to (except for a few EPers) and he works with the pharmacies to get me my meds even if the script isnt' due. Whatever works for you. Some can do in on there own. I need my meds. If you can't stand feeling sub human then all the better to find another outlet. I write. It seems to help and I can help others in the process. Good luck and day always follows the dark of night. *hug*

I dont think therapy should be called that if they are just giving you meds.

You really need to talk to someone, WITHOUT your husband there, you need to vent, get your frustrations, your worries, your concerns, your fears all out, not supress them because someone you love is there or suppress them with meds.

good luck on your journey, i hope you make it through the other side

Congratulations for being one of the very few people to escape the Legalized Drug Dealers.

"Depression Therapy" is just that: therapy that is designed to keep you depressed. one of the biggest lies invented by the "mental health profession" to merely get as many people hooked on drugs as possible. They do this by treating the immediate symptoms without even touching the underlying problems. As Dr. Wilhelm Reich discovered years ago, "depression" is merely a symptom, *not* a disease and the current establishment's way of dealing with this symptom is to merely numb the emotions. The danger in this is that the emotions are still very much there, seething beneath the surface, resulting in a state of constant tension which, if not treated, makes one even sicker and results in further "symptoms". And how does modern psychiatry "treat" this? With more drugs of course. You get sicker, they get richer.

The sad thing is, psychiatry knows exactly what it is doing, knows that there are simple methods that anyone can do to permanently cure both depression and the state that causes it - and yet they do nothing but make it worse. Why? Well - what would happen if everyone who was depressed was cured? What would happen to the pharmaceutical companies that produce these drugs? Where would Prozac go? What would happen - to you? You would cease to be a commodity. You would be completely free of depression. Reichian Therapy has been curing symptoms such as depression, manic depression, anxiety and chronic neurosis for years - and yet you will be steered to the drug dealers again and again. A trained psychotherapist can cure virtually any state of chronic depression - permanently - without any use of drugs whatsoever (trust me, I am one, and I know my sh1t). Health insurance companies won't cover your visit to one, though - precisely for the reasons I outline above.

Once again - *congratulations* on breaking the attempt by the drug dealers to get you hooked on a living nightmare. If you can afford it, look for a Reichian therapist in your area who will end the nightmare for good - without these fu(ked up drugs and their horrid side effects. In the meantime, avoid anyone who attempts to get you hooked back into the madness, just because they need to justify their own impotent lives and mindless drug addiction, or just needs to make you an impotent slave so they can feel better about themselves. You are obviously one of the few that care about improving themselves instead of having someone shove pills down their throats and I wish you an excellent future. Real, actual help is available, and it doesn't require your mind and willpower in return.

Do some 'shrink' shopping .. find one you like .. really .. I had a guy that was like talking to a lizard on a rock.

And go aloooooone .. its all about you .. you can take home handy pointer cards for the husband .. or have 'special' sessions.
