What kind of medications are we talking about, for what "issue" (suicidal thoughts or "my parents are disappointed because I did not go to college and I am feeling worthless") and what is the effectiveness, especially long-term, of either medication or talk therapy?
I certainly present anecdotes, and I also live in this world and I notice and I observe and I evaluate. The comment I am responding to does even less.
The second scam is, of course, couples counseling. I have sporadically watched Showtime's “Couples Therapy,” and I know several people who have gone to a couples therapist. The cost of a 50-minute session with the therapist presented on the show seems to be $700. After watching parts of the program, I can give my prescription to all the couples featured, free of charge: You need to break up and find someone else. It may be a collection of anecdotes, but I have yet to see a couple “fall in love again” or “settle their differences” after expensive couples counseling sessions. It's time to move on.
