Mair's post got me thinking, this would be a good place to ask...1. are you on meds? yes no we won't get into what kind where etc...
2. Are you 'in' therapy? Yes, No
3. If Yes, than how often? (once a week, two times a week, once a month, as needed)
4. And, what kind CBT only, group, whatotherkindsarethere?
5. If no, why not?
6. Other comments...
My answers are:
1. Yes I take meds
2. No, I am not in any type of official talk therapy.
3.< >
4.< >
5. Current pdoc feels I have (and observes in visits with my hub present though not always accounted for) a very supportive environment and don't need to...a curi-m-ous-e

Let's face it, if we were all doing wonderfully well, we probably wouldn't be here. It's been my observation that most of the people here are at least somewhat treatment resistent meds-wise and prone to relapses. Therapy, at least on a longer term basis, may be more necessary for someone in that category than for someone facing a situational depression who responds well to traditional monotherapies.
