    Glad to hear you are having CBT  ... I think that is the really key to success.  The drugs usually just alleviate or mask the symptoms.  I think the ideal is to master the CBT and eventually come off the meds altogether.

    CBT once learned and used regularly will last a lifetime.

    Hi Brenda 

    200g and 6 months in I'm sorry you are still feeling ill, i hope you feel an improvement from where you were 6 months ago ? 

    I suppose there are lots of things to take into account like the root cause of your illness sometimes things happen to us  in our lives that result in depression, OCD and anxiety that you simply can't change and you can only try and treat the symptoms. Also people respond to different drugs differently, I hope st least there is some improvement for you   Sounds like you are getting the he you deserve so hopefully it's just s case if still working through what's going to work well for you xx
