Ambient Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 My girlfriend and I have been going out for five months, we are both 17, and recently she has been openly telling me that she is depressed and that she is only happy when she's with me and at no other times. She says she wants to see a therapist and I think she should too. The only problem is her mom doesn't let her see one. Her mom tells her she will make an appointment all the time but never does, and most of her problems come from her family. We talk about why she is feeling the way she is but it seems like there is nothing I can say that will make it better. I don't know how to help her, if I can at all. Also, she thinks that going to the therapist and going on some pills will make her better, but I think that's a bad idea. Isn't it a guessing game with what pills will work for depression and what they prescribe? And aren't you just emotionless when you're on them; you're not sad anymore but you're not really happy either? Or can they really fix everything? Thanks
