This statement is so incredibly accurate. Medication plays a pivotal role in getting someone to a place where they can actually practice what is being discussed in therapy. I would also suggest not going to a psychologist, rather go to an LCSW. Your discussion will be less about the science and more about what you can do about it.

Not a doctor or a psychologist, just a guy who's been to a lot of them.
