While I'm sure combining meds and therapy is a perfect fit for some people, I'm very bored of my successive (UK) pdocs banging on about therapy - and in particular CBT.
You'd think it was some kind of magical panacea which will save the entire UK from mental health problems.
They're now so bogged down in this thinking that they deny that purely biochemical depressions exist.
The irony is that the latest pdoc couldn't even offer me CBT on the NHS due to lack of resources. She insisted I contacted a mental health charity instead.
That said, I'm sure combining therapy with the right meds can be a terrific treatment for some types of depression.
