In reply to Americans prefer Meds Vs Psychotheraphy for A + D, posted by Phillipa on June 3, 2010, at 19:51:02
It's not that we Americans prefer meds...it's that the insurance companies would not pay for psychotherapy because it was too expensive and took too long. Meds were supposed to cure us and keep costs down...little did they realize the costs and ineffectiveness and short lived treatments costs in the long run.
Oh well some one is getting rich off of our misery.
I gave up the medication merry go round a few years ago realizing it was mostly a bunch of BS. I never felt better on the meds for very long, all with the exception of Nardil which is a Gold standard for many of us. All of the Me-too meds are just ways for pharmaceutical companies to keep their patents from expiring...not to help patients but their bottom line.
