I would say biochemical imbalances change over time and thus some people not afflicted with comorbid disorders would stand a fairly good chance of reduction if not elimination of most of their medications.
Multiple diagnoses -might- take longer, but there is a lot of psychological things, relaxation therapy, e.g of a number of things, which can make the "anxious person" not in need s large combination of medication.
As for medication free, its always a risk to take to be 'unprotected' from further bumps in the road, but if it seems to be a good running experiment for lack of better words, then maybe they could become superfluous for quite a while.
