I have some thoughts about this, but I'm afraid the nuance won't translate well. If a person's situation is causing harm or trauma, fix that first. I understand the brain as a set of modules with soft wiring when you are born. There are tendencies, but no well worn pathways. In people with profound mental health issues, those modules and wires are fundamentally damaged in some way. For other people, the pathways they build between modules may be damaged by trauma. Some modules may be miscalibrated. In either case, medication may help a person feel and perform better. In either case, therapy may help a person to understand themselves and to modify cognitive behaviors. To break loops. To understand sensations and emotions. To connect with other people. --- An analogy - if you sprain an ankle, you may take medication for the inflammation, and you may also go to a physical therapist to build back muscle and functionality etc. Don't take the analogy too far - I'm only saying that layered treatment can be much more effective than a single solution.
