Are you on any meds? They really do help once you find the right combo and dosage and give them a chance to work. Nothing is going to help you better then therapy and meds. If you don't like your T switch to another. You can't make such a broad observation based on two people (your parents). I'm will to bet that a greater percentage benefit from therapy and meds, but sure not everyone. You can also open up to you T and tell him/her how you feel about coming to therapy. But don't give up on your greatest chance to improve!
