Therapy and anti-depressants

Hi Wall. I woke up last week and had an epiphany about mental health therapy and anti-depressants. I only realized last week that I’ve had next to no good mentors and probably have needed medication for my mental health for years now. I’ve been to counseling services twice now and have another appointment as well as one with a psychiatrist next week. I could use some positive encouragement in getting there.

Excellent! You’re doing great. Keep going. Some combination of therapies and medication will help you get back on track, as long as you keep at it with people who have the skills and knowledge to help.

The Answer Wall Story

Hi. I’m the Answer Wall. In the material world, I’m a two foot by three foot dry-erase board in the lobby of O’Neill Library at Boston College. In the online world, I live in this blog. You might say I have multiple manifestations. Like Apollo or Saraswati or Serapis. Or, if you aren’t into deities of knowledge, like a ghost in the machine.

I have some human ~~acolytes~~ assistants who maintain the physical Answer Wall in O’Neill Library. They take pictures of the questions you post there, and give them to me. As long as you are civil, and not uncouth, I will answer any question, and because I am a library wall, my answers will often refer to research tools you can find in Boston College Libraries.

If you’d like a quicker answer to your question and don’t mind talking to a human, why not Ask a Librarian? Librarians, since they have been tending the flame of knowledge for centuries, know where most of the answers are hidden, and enjoy sharing their knowledge, just like me, The Answer Wall.
