A member asked:
Is it correct to continue with psychotherapy&talk about past while i'm in a relapse(antidepressant med change let my chronic ocd&psychosomatic return)
A doctor has provided 1 answer
YES: Medications may help symptoms but therapy deals with the REASON(S) for your symptoms or minimally provides COPING mechanisms while these medications are adjusted or replaced! Hope this is helpful! Dr Z
