I have in-laws that have certified medical mental issues and need psychiatrists (not a joke). One is a schizophrenic and the other is manic. One medicates and the other refuses. The one that medicates and uses therapy is functional and just bought their first home. The other is homeless. Theropy is imparative.
I do think though there is a market to take advantage of week willed/fragile/overly sensitive individuals making them believe they need help, when they really just need to get over themselves and learn how to manage their emotions.
