> i just wished doctor would know what people have been thorugh.

I think doctors do know what people have been through. In fact, I think doctors know much better than we often give them credit for knowing.

Sometimes the best isn't to numb the emotions which cause distress, but to work through the underlying problems. It's much easier to take a pill than to face up to one's life. I think quite often, the truly lazy or less competent doctors will write the prescription, rather than take the harder stance of saying, "No, I'm not going to prescribe that medication for you. This medication I'm prescribing will be much more effective at treating the actual problem -- and will allow you to do more effective work on getting your life back on track."

Just as I fired a doctor for not recommending physical therapy for an injury, I would fire any psychiatrist who did not recommend that I include psychotherapy as part of my treatment. My current doctor is willing to see the psychotherapy as the major part of my treatment -- what he does is the adjunctive treatment.

Yes, the past is done with, if you mean that you can't go back and undo it. But you're not finished with it if it's still bothering you. That's where psychotherapy comes in -- have you considered seeing a therapist? It sounds as though that might be very helpful for you.
