For me going back to the psych and getting on the mental meds was not so much about it taking away my pain or assisting with that though let me tell you I would be grateful but about learning to cope better with the pain. For awhile I felt what was the point of going to the psych. If someone could take my pain away and the constant health conditions I would be happy but that was not happening and I was loosing my mind. So getting me on the meds for the mental side has helped me be more rational,less anxious,and depressed though of course to a "normal" person they would not think so but in comparison better
