It's not meds, it's you

A number of years ago, when I didn't have insurance, I saw a psychiatrist at the county mental health clinic. When I told her that I was still depressed and anxious after two months on the drug she prescribed, and asked for help, she told me, "No, I'm satisfied that the drug is working fine -- you're just not responding appropriately. The bottom line is, you have too many problems, and no drug will make you feel better."Three weeks later, after a general practitioner at the local medical clinic changed the drugs, I was fine -- although still rather bemused by that doctor's comments and attitude. -- Anonymous
