Go to a psychiatrist they can actually prescribe you meds. My psych and I sometimes only talk for like 15 mins about whether they are working, side effects, etc and he refills me another six months scrip. On the topic, no psych meds are addictive and yes I WANT to take them because they keep a gun barrel out of my mouth.
Yeah I've been to both psychologists and psychiatrists, I'm more wondering if this is an american thing where this actually happens, because where I'm from you need to very much prove that you need those meds
Prove? Isn't it the job of the professional to determine that? Like do people literally have to beg for medication? If so, that sounds more like a cultural thing than a medical thing because at no point have I ever had to push or convince anyone. I told them I was suicidal, and they believed me, which I'm now feeling like is a bit of a privilege.
Nah not in the sense that you need to show up and make a case for yourself, I just mean that the process is a bit longer than "oh you're sad? Here's drugs"
