Without noticing I wrote this in the teen room and will now post it here where it belongs.
I have a BS in psychology and chose not to pursue a degree in psychiatry because at that level you are mostly responsible for administration of medication in California. The real help comes from the establishment of a relationship with a good Christian psychologist. A good Christian psychologist will listen to what is happening in your life that is causing you negativity. Most people that are suffering from depression don't have anyone that will listen to them and help them find the root of their problem. Before you can solve a problem you must know what the problem is and what the cause is. Medication is a temporary solution to the symptoms caused by the underlying problem. Medications have huge negative side effects. Taking medication does not solve the initial problem at all. In just 3 days antidepressants (SSRI's) change the architecture of the brain even though you are told you won't feel a difference for weeks. Medications can turn you into a real life zombie. We must be very careful when we take medicine and those who do take SSRI's need someone who really cares about them; not someone around them who is just happy you aren't an issue no more to them. I am a firm believer in prayer and I am a witness to how God answers prayers. When you go to see a counselor make sure that counselor is a Christian, ask to pray before your session starts. There is lots of money being made in prescribing medicine. Right now insurance companies and even the Veterans Administration have realized that most of the prescribed medicine to the clients are unnecessary and in most cases over prescribed. They are cutting back on the amount of prescribed medicine allowed as well as type of medicine. If a person is suffering from blockage in the vessel supplying blood to one of their legs, they will experience pain in their legs and cramps. There are procedure's to clear the blockage but in many cases medicine is prescribed to stop the pain and cramps. The blockage gets worst and breaks into pieces that move through the bloodstream. These pieces can cause a heart attack or brain aneurisms. Lots of money was made from the doctor visits, medications, blood tests to monitor any damage caused by the medications and each blood test will be proceeded by a doctor visit. Doing what is right in the first place is not as profitable. The initial blockage could have been found doing a dye in the blood test and possibly a angioplasty procedure. What happened to people as a priority and not how much profit can be made.
