That's very good news

Got an appointment with a therapist at last for some CBT. I don’t think tablets are for me
Therapy is the better option when it's available, however, antidepressants (ADs) can be just as effective. They both work by the same mechanism. Anxiety disorders and depression are the emotional symptoms of atrophy of brain cells in the hippocampal regions caused by high brain stress hormone levels killing cells and inhibiting the growth of replacements. Both therapy and ADs stimulate the growth of new hippocampal cells. The therapeutic response comes from the new cells and the interconnections they form, not the treatments directly.
