Um, frankly, you don’t have to go on meds to see a therapist about problems you are having in your life. In fact if you are resoundingly against anything to do with meds than you can seek out the services of a psychoanalyst, who unlike a psychiatrist, cannot write a prescription for medication. Psychoanalysts are, as far as I’m concerned, the best kind of talk therapy, have a real way of getting to the root of ones problems, and help to teach you skills that you can apply that will be valuable ways of avoiding similar problem clusters in the future.
If you need help get help. If you need help and don’t want to take meds then be upfront about it and say that. Don’t lump every field of mental service into the category of “the only way to fix it is to take pills” there are many ways to get help, and not all of them will prescribe meds.
Personally, I don’t like the thought of using meds to balance out my brain chemistry. I’d rather use alcohol.
