So, I've been taking anti depressants for around 2 and a half years, with a brief break which didn't end as I'd hoped.
At the time I refused to go to a full phsyc assessment, and my GP didn't think I'd cope with that anyway. I've been given my nearest crisis team's number and was told to go to the nearest hospital if I needed to talk to someone (it was a mental health hosp, but closed now). I've always refused all therapy and counselling etc. I've only ever seen my GP about my depression, but am still on meds...
Is it just me who's never been to see any other professional other than a GP during their struggles with MH?

I've never seen a psychologist or anything of the sort. I've been on anti-depressants like you and seen my GP, that's it. I sometimes wonder if that's a mistake and if I should see someone. But then I think of the money it'll cost, and I never do
