[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First of all: all you have to do these days to get prescribed this kind of medication is one profound statement of "I feel so sad lately.", "I feel so stressed lately.", "I feel so anxious lately."

Medication should always be the last resort. No proper doctor will prescribe medication BEFORE recommending therapy. None. Unless it's a dramatic crisis situation where your wife wants to kill herself of course, that's different. But a good doctor will try to help your wife without simply putting her on drugs. Consider that first.

Then: your wife's decision not to take medication is first of all a good thing. It means she still feels strong and secure enough to think she can manage in a different way. Therapy is the way to go. Also talk to her. Try to seriously help her and not just put her on something so everyone's life gets easier. [/quote]

Of course, most with untreated mental illness think they can manage.

If she refuses both therapy and meds, that is a problem.[/quote]
