I'm not sure what I need + question on Lamictal

[WinterSky]

I am glad you all created this forum. I've been in "therapy" for quite awhile but I do not think it is like psychotherapy or CBT, I am not sure. Perhaps it used to be CBT this "round" and psychotherapy the first "round". But now I do not know. I think they gave up on me. I feel like my doctor is playing head games with me. Sometimes I wonder if I am a psychopath like I think my dad is. My siblings do not appear to have healthy brains either.

Can Lamictal be an effective treatment alone? I am inconsistent. I do not interact enough with people in real life, nor do I have any close interpersonal relationships. But I think that perhaps if I did then my range of emotions would grow.

I'm not sure how to answer the questions you've asked, so that makes two of us

There are as many different opinions on what parts of therapy work best and what are essential as there are therapists and patients/clients. I don't know if medication can be a successful therapy alone for you. For some people, that is okay and for others not so much.

can you describe your therapy a little bit? what you do in the therapy and how it goes back and forth between you? that would help us to have a better appreciation of what sort of therapy it is so that you could have a basis for comparison.
