If you catch me giving out advice about what I don't know about, point it out in the thread where I do it, like I'm doin' for you here. Otherwise, it ain't half useful.

Each person's situation is different. Some will benefit from nothing but talk therapy. Some will benefit best from a combination of meds and talk therapy. And others, such as myself, can be diagnosed (a key word here) with a chronic (another key word) condition which can be helped by medication and not so much, if at all, through talk or other coping methods.

One reason I know this is because I tried talk and other coping methods for 20 years, and continued to suffer and suffer; medication solved it in two months and continues to solve it perfectly with no side effects and no HIGHLY expensive talk therapy.

And the reason I am a stickler about this is because it might help another person stop suffering sooner than 20 years.
