I didn't say I was unwilling to take them, I asked if you could 'get better' without them.
Currently, every GP I have seen (all of them in the practice over the last couple of years) has consistently refused to prescribe meds. I guess I should be greatful that I don't have a 'mental health diagnosis' (for want of a better phrase), but I disagree and I don't know what to do about it. One GP did refer me to a psychiatrist after my mum kicked up a huge fuss but again, psychiatrist said "you don't need meds, your struggles are situational and to do with your dyspraxia rather than a "mental health problem". Which is true to a certain extent, in the sense that (with the exception of when I split up with my ex fiacee) I've never been "I want to stay in bed and not do anything" stage of depressed.
I just wondered what people's opinions were, because if I can "get better" without meds, then theres hope that all this will stop and I'll have a "normal" life again.
