Thanks for your response. Yes, cats are helpful. :) No they aren't the best with the fetching of beer but that's okay. Yeah often when I'm in "crisis " it's not time to see the therapist and for the mostly competent one i have/ Had now he'd be be great if I could use him when actually in a bad moment rather Than have to drum it back up in the "hour" long session (often only 50 to 55 minutes....)
It's just not a good model of treatment.

As for psychiatrists, they can be annoying to great to just okay. I've had 2/3 that were ok/great. Only switched from the previous bc of moving. I really despise the Types trying to switch up the meds just so you have to go back more often. Or when they don't listen to you about what is helping. I had one cut back the anxiety med by 75% and increase the seroquel by 75% simultaneously. I seriously felt like a guinea pig. The other two / the one i have now don't try to change things so that's good. Consistency is obviously important with meds

I recently read ketamine is being explored as a treatment for depression!
