They don't require it for life - that's all i'm saying. Maybe when the come up with solid proof as opposed to a best guess of a lack of seritonin, i might believe you.

Stating that all people would improve with psychotherapy/counseling is the equivalent of stating that all diabetics can be treated with only diet and lifestyle changes.

Sure they'll improve. Teaching people non pharmacutical ways of dealing with anxiety does work. Breathing, exercise, yoga, relaxation techniques etc. Then there's gradualy exposing someone to thier anxiety to desensitise them and teaching them different ways to look at the siuation.
