Ultimately, that did not help much. It was only seeing another therapist who prescribed drugs that we saw marked improvement.
This is just one data point. In my situation, my relative truly had chemical imbalances that was only helped with prescription drugs.

That's the difference between being sad and having depression. Some people need medication, as they feel the effects of depression even if things are going well. It's a chemical imbalance. When I see posts online about people that turned around their lives because they got a new job, or a new boyfriend/girlfriend, that's not depression.
