There’s this famous story in the history of psychiatry about a man who was told he might need to spend years in an asylum doing psychoanalysis for his depression, but when he got pulled out by a loved one and put in a facility that used medication, he recovered in months. (Then he sued… Osheroff v. Chestnut Lodge if you wanna read about it) been thinking about this since I started escitalopram, literally spent like 8 months rawdogging exposure therapy and feeling like I was never gonna get it, 2 months into meds and my therapist says I’m doing so good we can go down to monthly check-ins?? what
