therapist coercing me to see a psychiatrist

I had this therapist who saw me for a few months and from what I gather I was one of her more difficult patients. She'd ask "how are you feeling today?" and I'd respond with idk. Then she'll go on and ask me what I did last week and I'd respond with "nothing, really." She took these interactions as a sign that I was severely depressed. Yeah I have anhedonia because of my stale personality but there are many more symptoms to depression than just anhedonia. I tell her that I am not depressed and I don't care that not much brings me pleasure and she'd go on about how Welbutrin did her wonders and how I shoulod try it too. In my indifference I gave her a non-committal "mmm" because I am equal parts indifferent and suggestible. Given my non compliance with annoying questions and my "odd speech" she decided that she couldn't handle me and sent me off to another agency with a psychiatrist. The referral said that I am to see a psychiatrist about getting meds. In retrospect it's annoying that the prevailing view in mental health care today is meds meds meds meds. Now I'm tempted to cancel this bloody appointment and just drop out of the MH care system no matter how disabled I become. I've been on mood stabilizers, antipsychotics, antidepressants, and anxiolytics. I don't want to touch another pill but they all insist I do. What do I do next give up or hope this new agency is actually helpful?

Hi, just a thought. A therapist is a low-level counselor. Your therapist may feel you need someone with more experience and education. It's really not a bad thing. I have rejected counselors because they don't have the experience that meets my needs. What do you think?

Part of my problem is that the disorders I suffer from are somewhat rare and insurance is another issue for me since my county's mental health care is focused on drug addiction so finding a mental health professional nearby that can handle my diagnoses and are in network with my insurance are quite difficult to find. Then there's the added problem of me moving in a couple of months so I fear therapy won't go far. I had a psychiatrist tell me I don't need medications and was very helpful but my insurance changed so I don't see his practice anymore. They move I will be making is to college and the school's counselor would probably help some regulating life on campus but otherwise I'd be SOL. This new agency is going to eventually provide me with a therapist but idk when that'll be. All I can really do now is hope for the best.

Its a problem, this was written yesterday on MIA

Patients More Likely to Refuse Drug-Only Treatment, Study Finds

The American Psychological Association (APA) recently published a study finding that patients assigned to drug-only treatments were more likely to refuse treatment, and more likely to drop out before treatment completion, than patients assigned to psychotherapy only.
