Psych does have a bad history (e.g. <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;link.springer.com&#x2F;article&#x2F;10.1007&#x2F;BF01541182" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;link.springer.com&#x2F;article&#x2F;10.1007&#x2F;BF01541182</a>) and maybe present. But the things you&#x27;re raging against can help a lot.<p>Therapy is horribly difficult and can fall short for all sorts of reasons, ones out of anyone&#x27;s control. It&#x27;s helped me tremendously day-to-day, but my ultimate problems are pretty intractable.<p>&gt; patients whom are not on long term medications have a better quality of life<p>Perhaps that their quality of life isn&#x27;t so impaired is why they&#x27;re not on medication? Such a short anecdote can be interpreted as suggesting anything.
