I don’t agree with you about the « dead end » of medicalization. Medicalization really help you to break the circle. It temporarily treats the symptoms and allows you a timeframe where you can work towards the origin of your issues. And if for some reason, you can’t, it at least helps you live a more supportable life. Here we are in a mental disease but you can easily make an analogy with any disease. If you need re-education after an accident that broke something, the first step is generally to treat the symptoms that could block you to achieve re-education. As an example, my dad completely lost its equilibrium after a brain stroke. Re-education was long and hard, eventually succeeded, but would have been totally impossible without medication against nausea, which you constantly get when your equilibrium system is failing. And I would add that, AFAIK, some forms of depressions are purely chemical issues. And it isn’t surprising. There exists tons of diseases that are chemical issues.
