when i did therapy, the doctor was still of the old school type, who hardly prescribed meds. I didnt have the patience to go through, and i didnt have people who backed me up on it. my father was and still is a big med abuser, who gave me sleeping pills when i was a kid, so i would fall asleep easier. So, before actually using meds, i actually thought they could be the only solution, where "talk only" therapy was useless.
One of the other doctors i saw, used the phrase (which still creeps me out to this day), "depression is a disease that only chemistry can cure or suppress. all you have to do is give in and trust me".
I think a non-medical therapy can be helpful, but it seems that nowadays that doesnt exist anymore, since doctors are slaves of the pharama companies and make more money as pushers than doctors.
