What About Medication?

Medication can be a powerful tool to help improve mood symptoms, which can help enhance coping and increase motivation to engage in talk therapy,

But it is well-established that the long-term solution to mental and emotional problems and the pain they cause cannot be solved solely by medication. Instead of just treating the symptom, therapy addresses the root cause of distress and damaging behavioral patterns.

Working with your medical doctor you can determine what's best for you, and in some cases a combination of medication and therapy is the right course of action.
