A member asked:
If feeling suicidal , can medication really stop those thoughts or is really lots of talking through thoughts /feelings and the medication just numbs ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cognitive Behavioral: Therapy (or other psychotherapy) and medication together is a good combination according to the research. Stay close to your doctor and let some loved ones know what is going on. Peace and good health.
