For every story of "how the meds saved me" theres twice as many who worked it out, either by themselves or the counseling of a trained professional. No manner of pseudoscience or anecdotal experience will ever convince me otherwise.

As a person who's been there and said that, it's really an eye opener to how much something like that can change your life. Why should a person feel like they need to constantaly mentally work something out, work up the courage to do a small task or something, when you can take something that fixes the chemical imbalance and afterwards you never need to feel worried about one of those irrationalities you used to? Why would you want to pay thousands of dollars in counseling when there is another perfectly legitimate option that helps just as well?
