> DJ, I still find it awfully egocentric of you to assume that just because YOU believe YOU used medication as a crutch, that the same is true for all others.

I think, Noa, that people who haven't experienced an "out-of-the-blue" mental illness (that wasn't related to a major trauma, loss, bad parenting, etc.) often have a hard time imagining that such a thing exists.

I do wonder who dj is talking about (other than dj!) -- where are the many people who use medication as a crutch, and what are the "issues" they need to "work through?" (And how did dj come to this knowledge?) I'm also not sure who CarolAnn believes is rejecting talk therapy -- with one notable exception, I don't know of anybody here who isn't in therapy (or seeking therapy). Also, of course, there's the fact that the article quoted was about self-discovery, not talk therapy!

As far as self-discovery goes, incidentally, I think poetry and literature are great...which is why I was surprised to see a list almost exclusively of self-help and "inspirational" books instead.
