I try but end up losing motivation after a week or two.

I have no real purpose, my life doesn't really effect much of anything

You have to see a counselor too. Meds can be great, but they're more of a booster to get you out of your depressing routines. If you keep doing the same things, your attitude won't change much.

Pretty much every counselor will recommend exercise and a good diet. Beyond that, they're going to start by trying to find out the causes of your depression. Until that's fleshed out, it's really hard to suggest how to overcome it.

Where/how do I find a good therapist?

Most of them just talk to me for 10-20 minutes then recommend drugs

I'm sick of being drugged up in this hell hole

My doctor suggested my therapist and set up my appointments for me. Then again, that guy sucked, but you could always ask your doctor if they know of any.

There are a bunch of websites that can help you browse psychologists/counselors in your area. Most of them let you see what symptoms each one specializes in, what insurance they take, etc. It's been a while since I've used one, so I don't know which site to recommend.

You could also try calling your insurance company to get a list of psychologists/counselors they cover. There might be a Family Services type thing in your town that can help connect you to someone or provide free counseling there.

Just remember that you're looking for a psychologist (a.k.a. counselor/therapist), not a psychiatrist. Psychiatrists are the ones that prescribe medication and generally aren't intended to give you life advice and/or behavioral therapy.

Not sure my man. I've only heard of it. It's for depressed people where other treatment hasn't worked. I haven't tried it, though I've been diagnosed with depression, ptsd, bipolar, and anxiety. I don't take meds anymore 'cause they were messing me up and had bad physical side effects. So, I self-manage now with the help of family. But I know how you must feel. So, I recommend exploring that option. Hope you feel better soon.

FWIW TC, I've used one of those treatments in the past, although not with Neurostar. Worked wonders since medicine only made me worse.
