Yeah, don't want to get into details but I was meeting with a psychologist and both her and my family doctor had a bunch of stuff they wanted me to do before they even considered drugs.. (the stuff worked, never had the drugs). Homework from a psychologist lol.
But I do think that we are still at a pretty primitive stage of mental health, a long way to go, and just prescribing a drug should not be the only answer.
But I am personally involved with a case where drugs are absolutely necessary, making the difference between functional and able to cope with life and not, and it took some doing to find the right balance so the drug helped but didn't interfere
