Agreed. I've suffered from depression for so long and most psychiatrists I visited just told me to take some pills that made me feel numb and didn't fix the underlying issue.

Now I've been working with a therapist since January alongside with some pills and I feel so much better. Not only the depression symptoms are mostly gone, but I feel I know so much more about myself and now I can understand what made me feel like I did before.

Anyway, if you, dear reader, are suffering from depression, I recommend you to visit a therapist with an open mind.

I would add on top of this, try out different therapists if current one is not working for you, rather than saying 'this is not working, i am done with therapy'.
