Hey PG, so I guess your question is "should you take medication"? Have you taken it before? Did it help? Processing all of your issues will certainly put you in a much better place but medication could make it easier for you to accomplish.

When our upbringing was dysfunctional it puts us in a place where our functioning is stressed. When our functioning is stressed it does mess with our biochemicals. Fixing things in therapy helps us to function better and, thus, puts us into a better biochemical balance. But sometimes some people need a little more help with meds in order to accomplish therapy.
