In a dark place...Again *AB TRIGGERS*

[EJ]

I agree with Suzi in terms of treatment never say never. I was regarded as being in the treatment resistant group. For me it took an inpatient stay in a private hospital and a combination of drug therapy to finally turn my illness around. I thought that I would never become well or stable and I have achieved that. My psychiatrist put me on a combination of lithium and mirtazapine. This was after many anti depressants including a long spell on dothiepin. I didn’t believe that it would be drugs that would make me well including two stays in therapeutic communities and two stays in psychiatric hospitals. I had CBT but that did not eventually work for me. I have also found hypnotherapy helpful.
