FP - Welcome. The reason we harp about medications on this board is that most of us believe that they "put the floor under us" so that the other therapies you mention will be effective. They bring us to an emotional level that allows us to understand what the therapist is saying, instead of sitting inside ourselves, afraid to come out. As you follow this board, you will come to realize that most of us do not consider medications "cures", but rather "bandages". To stop the "bleeding" we sometimes need "bandages" before we can get the "stitches". Hope this partially clears up why we talk meds all the time. There have been some very good posts on talk therapies, but usually they are just implied or taken for granted. - Cam W.
