And there's nothing wrong with it

I know it is not my business, but have you two tried visiting a therapist and I mean a Registered Psychologist. I think that it is a shame they are not covered my medical plans. Medication is not always the complete answer but it is a crutch when coupled with proper therapy.
I know there is a stigma about seeing a psychologist but it is something that is sometimes necessary and never anything to be ashamed of. They are trained in ways doctors (psychiatrists) are not and vice versa. Their training program is incredibly intense and drawn out and their profession is poor at advocating for themselves.
Sorry to get on my soap box but mental health it something important to me and I try to advocate for more than medications. Which is ironic since I am chemist who works for a pharmaceutical company.
Look at therapy and medication as cross training for better mental health. Just like biking and lifting can produce a better athlete.
