I would never tell sombody that therapy was unnecessary.
Even if a depression is completely biological, one would be foolish (IMO) to think that the proper medication will change all depression promoting behaviors.
For instance, even after being sucessfully treated for depression, I still retained my workaholic tendancies, many of which were what made me depressed in the first place. I guess I felt, that since it was my "chemistry" that my actions were independant of my mood.
I think thats like telling somebody that, after the right heart medicine, it will be ok to sit on the couch all day long.
