> Oh yes I agree with you, I never said that it was one or the other. I just sometimes wish people would persue therapy and self help with the same vigour that they do with pills.How do you know people are not also diligently pursuing therapy? I never ever ever talk about my talk therapy anywhere on pbabble. That does not mean it does not take place.

Exactly.

How do you know that? The main board here is a meds board. Therefore, it can be exected that most of the people who find this site are pursuing meds as part of their treatment. This is not the general public. In IRL, I do not know of anyone on meds who wouldn't prefer to not take them if they could do without them.
FWIW, I have no trouble believing that there are people for whom the right meds would be sufficient, just as there are people for whom talk therapy is sufficient. Mood and anxiety disorders are highly individual.
