Yeah, GPs are usually pretty ineffective dealing with serious mental illness.

I've encountered good psychiatrists and bad - some felt like they were just throwing pills at the problem, damn your complaints about side effects. Some are much better. Sounds like you're getting what you need, that's Great.

I don't have to take meds currently, but I don't think I would have found success in therapy without them.
