I've never been anti-therapy. I've had some benifit from therapy at many times.

See thats where I differ in thought. If my view affects the effectiveness of a med then really isn't doing its job. I know that people who believe their meds will work have a statistically higher chance of remisson, but maybe its the reverse (ie more optimistic people believe the meds will work, but more optimistic people are likely to get better because they are optimistic).

I've been on meds for a while (5+ years) with marginal results. I know there are a lot of people who feel somewhat better but not well. I am not expecting the meds to do everything so even if I just get some improvement, thats ok.
