She looks so crazy in the trailer for next week, screaming her head off when TJ is trying to talk to her about her depression. I mean, of course she’s depressed, she can’t work and she’s in a foreign country without her friends and family. That’s the show. That being said, I can’t stand her, and I’m really liking the brother-in-law more and more, especially when he laughs at her.

    I have a spiritual practice that helps me immensely with my mental health issues. I also see a therapist and psychiatrist regularly and am medicated. However therapy & medication does not work for me without my spiritual practice. Slapping someone in the face with pills is just a band-aid, not a lasting resolution in my experience. Spirituality and western medicine do not necessarily negate each other.

      If the correct psychiatric medication is not working for you without spiritual practices - then it isn’t the right medication. Sorry to say, but that’s the be all and end all of it. Spiritual practices and meditation may aid in calming or focusing your transient emotional states, but they have absolutely NO bearing on psychiatric medication, if it is correct and given in the correct doses. I’m a doctor, so, I’m really not sure I’m the right audience for comments like this. I’m happy it helps you.

        okay this is a BAD take, especially for a doctor

        in mental health, medication is often used transitionally while people learn other ways to manage their symptoms

        This is identical to saying a patient wouldn’t need therapy if they were only on the right medication
