I don't know, about 15 years ago I tried therapy for anxiety/depression.

The 1st one asked me the most basic nonsense and then told me she thinks I just drink too much coffee so I didn't go back.

The second one told me they don't believe in medication so I never went back.

The 3rd one diagnosed me with seasonal affective disorder in about 5 minutes, gave me a little prozac and changed my life.

I suspect there is an overwhelming amount of terrible therapist.

I don't think the challenge is finding a good therapist but in not getting stuck with a terrible therapist or letting a terrible therapist ruin the whole idea of therapy.

Idk which was worse in my experience, the one with basic nonsense or the one who prescribed me SSRIs after a short talk. I quit by myself after a couple of months and will never touch this crap or walk into his office again.

Sorry but to me sounds like you just embraced the first one that gave you drugs. Not that you dind't need it...but 5 minutes for a prozac prescription?! That's absurd.
