Many, many others would be unable to be a normal member of society without medical intervention.
No one is saying drugs are the only option, but they are an incredibly, consistently effective one. By comparison I'm unaware of any behavioral therapy for any underlying condition that is predictably effective anywhere close to "most of the time."
