There’s no one-size-fits all when it comes to treating psychiatric disorders. There’s research to show that the most likely treatment successes come with a combination of therapy and medication. However, some people do fine with therapy alone and others do fine with medication alone. I think the best way to make the decision is to pay attention to what you’re leaning toward. If you feel that medication can help you, chances are good that it will. Likewise, if you feel that therapy can help you, it probably can. Our belief systems aren’t the whole story in what helps us heal, but they do play an important part. My sense is that your best bet is to capitalize on your beliefs and go with them instead of trying to work against them.
