A member asked:
Want to go to the doctors for my depression but i don't want therapy. what will happen?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Partial improvement: The most effective way to treat depression is a combination of therapy and medication. Why wouldn't you want therapy if it can help? If you're afraid of what might be revealed, that could be an indication of the need for releasing it. Medication can be very helpful but may not be enough by itself.
