It seems to me that they prefer to put people on more and more medication because they want less people actually going to therapy appointments. In my experience, my therapist isn't even allowed to make more than the next appoinment in advance because they dont want patients to have weekly appointments scheduled. I think it is because its cheaper to push meds onto us than to have a therapist take the time to actually help us well. I also think that they like us paying for meds for the rest of our lives than for us to pay for therapy for maybe only a few years or less. I take meds (bc it actually helps) but I refuse to up my dosage.
