I can only speak for myself on this one.
I'm a dual diagnosis. Alcohol addiction and major depression or bi-polar. My docs are still trying to figure out what will help me. All I know is my depression started when I wasn't drinking and without treatment, I started self medicating. It did not turn out well on that route and if I continued that path I had no chance of getting better...or even being here to get better.
So I am open to whatever helps me live a decent life and stay sober. I just try to be honest with everyone involved whether it's my doctors or my addiction support.
It's your journey to find out what will help you be the best you. All I know is whatever that leads to, you will find many people just like you that will support you.
I wish you the best dear.
xoxo
