You're not wrong. It's a cost-benefits analysis conclusion for me. For example: taking my own life was in the cards before medication and therapy. The current status quo is much better; not just for the reason in the previous sentence. I now work through the problems in my life in the order in which they cause more problems, and it benefits me in lots of little ways. It's relevant to the discussion that I think the notion that everyone needs therapy and medication is absurd. I continue to see a therapist as a barrier put into place to make sure I don't move in a negative direction regarding the more serious personal issues (and take appropriate/healthy actions when a significant problem arises).
