Therapy without having seen a psychiatrist is often a waste of time, they are often qualified to help you with, say, an BPD diagnosis, but aren’t qualified to make it.
So fucking around trying to get you to treat your depression and anxiety at the surface level without knowing that the behaviors driving you to seek therapy have a source and that you can treat it directly.
Granted, seeing a psychiatrist is almost impossible for most people, so I’m not trying to throw shade if you haven’t.
But if you’re in therapy for a couple of years and you feel like it’s beneficial, kinda, but not really getting at the root of things, and you have the insurance, a good psychiatrist can get things on track in a way a therapist simply does not have the training to do.
