I'm just speaking for myself personally but i don't like psyche altering substances, regardless whether they are prescribed or not. I live a pretty sober lifestyle. I stay away from drugs and i drink very little alcohol, mainly because i prefer to feel my feelings as they are, unaltered and undulled, whether they are negative or positive. I think of it like a pain response: if you are feeling pain it's an indicator, a signal from your body, and it might be better to pay attention to it rather than shut it off (within reason). But that's just a personal choice. If other people find medication or self-medication helpful that isn't any of my business.

As for therapy, it can be helpful for sure, and for some people it genuinely makes their life better. But we also have to recognize that there is now an entire industry built around it with a lot of money involved which creates certain incentives. And to some extent the necessity for therapy has grown out of the fact that we as humans need community and social interaction, we need family and friends to keep us emotionally and psychologically healthy. Unfortunately modern lifestyles under capitalism are often alienating and isolating and this creates a need for a replacement. And of course that replacement has been commoditized as a paid service.

So yeah, psychiatry as a whole, i'm not against it. It's just something we have to analyze critically.
