Hi jen, im lil and im new this place too. first off i have to apologise in advace, for my grammar and spelling(lol) anyways, in my own personal opinion, i think that was a unproffesional and cruel thing to a person that is suffering from depression. she couldnt be further from the truth. to me, she basically "kicked you while you were down" telling a depressed person that medication wont help is telling them there hopless, that nothing is going to help. Ive been to those support groups for woman dealing with depression and in my expiriences it was a joke. i much rather the one on one you get with a councellor or a psychiatrist. i have never left group therapy feeliong better only more hopeless and frusterated. my advice to you would be this, go to your doctor and ask him to refer you to a phychiatrist. tell your doctor about your expirience and that group therapy isnt your thing, he will be able to set you up with someone he feels is better suited to you. as for the med thing, dont give up hun... im still trying to find the right one for me, and once you do find it, it would have been worth all the trial and error. dont give up sweety :)
