Well, a psychiatrist or a therapist isn’t there to be combative. They are there to make you feel better. If you believe the medication won’t work and you don’t do anything with it, you actually won’t see any difference - even if it actually helps you, you will think “I just had a better day, it’s all”. SSRIs sadly aren’t magic happy pills, but they do help if you let them, provided you don’t have treatment resistant depression (which could also mean you have something else, for which SSRIs aren’t the full solution, at least that was the case for me).

Not a doctor, just an idiot that went through all of it and trying to cope with ADHD. Medicated of course.
