[quote=Anonymous]Our son has been dealing with depression for years with a number of suicide attempts.  He went through so many treatment programs and inpatient hospitalizations, each with their own psychiatrist and therapy staff.  FWIW, what helped most was getting into a regular routine of work and school and getting out of the house along with medication - all of which required family help to get in place.  Therapy has never helped.  It's like this thing that has been dangled that everyone tells us should help but it never has.

Recently, I have been told by providers that I need to step back and let my son secure his own medical care, which is tough.  But he's done it.  And he's much happier and more compliant with the providers he's chosen.  The sole thing he researched was insurance coverage.  Everything else was about how he felt and how close to home they were because he likes the convenience.  So, I'm not sure researching is the answer.  Also, different doctors work better for different people.  Doctors with bad reviews still have patients who think they walk on water and doctors with good reviews still have patients who think they are the worst ever.

Anyway, good luck.
