because you are under the impression that medication changes the 'peak' of your personality?

That is a very common misconception and unfortunately a prime reason why people rather live miserable than get the help they need and so much deserve.


As for therapists: it is my belief that you will get out of it what you put into it. If you go into a session thinking the person is full of it, you will leave disappointed and in the same state as you went into it. If you are open and do your homework (yes there might be homework) and you really really go along with it, you may be extremely surprised about the outcome. Of course none of this happens over night - it's a long process and progress may not be noticed until years later.
