>I think it's just that I'm 19, so it's like, "oh, you'll grow out of this." Sure, let the 40 year old obese soccer mom score xanax and valium by the gallon, but don't give the kid who's patiently taken every concoction possible to take for over a year to no avail the simple Klonopin, we can't have that now...
I so feel for you. I don't understand how your age should affect the treatments available for you. As a teenager, my psychologist wanted to put me on anti-depressants and went to my gp with me. She had no luck. So I know it is out there the bias regarding age. And that slightly confused teenager turned into a neurotic middle age housewife!! AGH!
The only reason I can see which would be legit if someone had an addiction problem, which hopefully at your age you haven't suffered. Regarding the therapy, meds in my opinion can help the process work. Just talking from my own expierence!
Hang in there, things do get better!!
