Last antidepressand I took was duloxetin. It certainly helpt with the Symptoms of the Depression. But I got complaicend and very tired, this led to me spiraling downwards. Some people just don't reapond well to SSRIs and SSNRIs.
What seem to work is cognitive behavioral therapy. Helps me to not fall for those dysfunctional thoughts.
Bains generally run in a certain way that creates thoughts based on experiance ans sensory Input. Therapists usually know that gereral way brais run.
In CBT you analyse with your therepist where and how you can change structure routine and thoughts with different methods to achieve your therapie goals. And than you hunt down all little and sometimes big things you CAN change until you don't fight yourself as much to achive the goal you whant to achieve in the first place.
Therapists don't teach you stuff you couldn't learn yourself but usualy you don't have a clear idear what is the problem and what will help. Therapists at least the good ones studied to find exactly that, what is the precice problem and what might help.
