I think it's important to remember that when treating depression, often you will use therapy and medication.

People sometimes do as you are doing and seem to imply the medication is used instead of working out your problems. But it's really just one part of a whole.

I'd say that doing both things is not just common, but almost mandatory.

I've been to a lot of psychiatrists in the last 15 years, and all of them made a point to tell me that I should also seek a psychotherapist.
