But for many of us, accepting the medical end of our illness (which is simply fact for us) goes hand-in-hand with our insurance coverage. To say therapy shouldn't fall at all under a medical model would be to deny a large percentage of people an important aspect of their healthcare. It really can't be separated for us generally.
My healthcare is more than just "medical." It involves whatever treatment and prevention is needed to allow me to function with the best health possible, and I consider my mental health part of my entire healthcare.
