I've got more ill, when I have had professional help

But I know people that have got much better, I guess we are all individuals and need to find what works for us ourselves.

Professional help can mean many things. For me in particular, going to a professional therapist helped me cope with the drug adverse effects I was too confused to recognize as drug effects.
If I had not sought help from my OB in the first place, I never would have started on Zoloft, or gone through the turmoil I did; I wouldn't have been in the hospital separated from my newborn son, I wouldn't have spent 4 months feeling like my whole life was controlled by thoughts, that came from nowhere, related to homicide. I am not a violent person. I feel sorry for insects that splat on my windshield. But on Zoloft I had to suffer with thoughts like, what if I killed my baby by _________ (fill in the blanks with whatever you can think of that would be a threat). Once I stopped Zoloft I no longer felt contolled by any thoughts. Rather I was able to control what thoughts I was having in the first place.
There are caring therapists out there who will not push meds on you, I recommend to anyone who feels like taking meds that they try therapy instead. Don't take brain damaging drugs.
