Welcome to our community of support for those coping with mental health challenges. Many of us take antidepressants prescribed by doctors to help manage conditions like anxiety, depression, OCD, and panic disorder. This is a space to share experiences, find information, ask questions, and encourage one another.

We aim for open and constructive dialogue. Please be thoughtful and kind. Rude or abusive language will not be tolerated. Our focus is on learning, growing, and walking together through difficulties.

Professional medical advice is irreplaceable. Consult your physician before making any changes to medication routines. Improper antidepressant use can be dangerous. We are here to support you on your journey toward mental wellness, not replace doctors.

Many people out there suggest doing CBT while taking antidepressants, but I don't see what problems CBT could potentially cure for me. Anxiety? Fixed by drugs (or should be fixed), Depression? Fixed by drugs, and so on. If my drugs fails at fixing problems, there's a good chance that drug dose should be adjusted or I need other drugs that's simple. What's the relevance of cbt here?

Personally I am a fan of cognitive behavioral therapy. I wouldn’t recommend cock and ball torture< but to each their own.
