“If OP is having serious difficulties, I would not recommend turning to medication as a solution, only as a slight push in the right direction. I’d say (and all the professionals I’ve talked to have said the same thing) that 95% of it is hard work on cognitive patterns and lifestyle changes.”

I have a doctorate in clinical psychology and worked for 5 years as a psychotherapist. I’ve never heard any mental health practitioner say the above. I certainly wouldn’t make such a statement.
