herpills,
Psychiatry wasn't my last resort, but I did seek help with a therapist before I started seeing a psychiatrist for my depressive symptoms. If the therapy would have reduced the severity of my symptoms, then I probably wouldn't have sought psychiatric help. Unfortunately, the therapy didn't leave me feeling any less depressed. One of the psychiatric drugs that I took (enteric-coated Nardil) put me into full remission at one point, but two medications (lithium and aminoguanidine) left me with adverse effects that appear to be permanent. My current diagnosis is schizoaffective disorder, and I take medications for my condition.
