I have a friend who is convinced his problem is "genetic" and "can only be treated with meds and specialized therapy". He has anxiety disorder and panic attacks. He can't live without his pill, because everytime he doesn't take it he begins to panic that he'll have a breakdown and instantly takes one. He says "It's like telling someone who has diabetes to control his own problem without pills". He has been with psychologist and a Psychiatrist for 2 years now, he has just switched Psychiatrist and he gave him a new therapy with 3 or more pills.

Personally I think he's wrong and getting dependant on pills. He was completely normal, social, fun and outgoing up until 18 years old when all started, he's now 22.

Thoughts? People "born" with problems and deficiency are really only be able to get better with pills?
