Can Sertraline Be Taken For Depression?
Question: I have spoken to the therapy by an email yeastrday, he told me that the drug which is sertraline have no any benifit for me to use, he recomend that, I must see the therapy in London,this the email I have recived please read it then tell me your view
It takes some courage to reach out for help, and is the first hurdle that needs to be taken. I note you have had some medication, I am making the assumption this was from your GP as sertraline is commonly prescribed to patients with depression, panic, anxiety, or obsessive-compulsive symptoms. Whilst drugs can be effective, they usually mask or supress symptoms rather than treat them. In many cases this is sufficient, but as you have alluded to, in your case this isn’t sufficient. We do offer a variety of different treatments, which you can see on our website, but I will have XXXXXXX who is our lead therapist and a specialist in sexually orientated sub branches of OCD.

Thanks very much for your question.
My interpretation of this message is that this physician believes psychotherapy will be useful to you. Sertraline can help with some symptoms of OCD, but psychotherapy is often necessary to really tackle the underlying problem. This is a common view, as studies have shown that the combination of medication AND psychotherapy is the most beneficial for patients. I recommend pursuing this opportunity as psychotherapy is helpful for many, many people.

Detailed Answer:
I'm sorry that site didn't work out for you, I thought it would.
Here's a solution that we know will work. We can do therapy together on this website via writing back and forth. Write to me three times a week by asking a direct question to my private link on this website:
XXXX
This will ensure the message gets sent directly to me. We will talk back and forth about your addiction to masturbation and pornography, and how we can work together to help you overcome it. By doing this three times a week, or as often as you would like, the cost comes out to about $100 a week, which is less than the cost of telemedicine or therapy in other countries. I am willing to do this at a discount because I believe I can really help you.
Let me know if this works for you.
