I missed this before. I guess you are saying that a person in crisis has only two options--meds and therapy. If so, I would consider that an extreme statement. Seems there are
many other ways to heal.
This sort of position is considered acceptable. Nobody bats an eye.
But if someone asserts a similarly extreme position on the other end of the spectrum (e.g. do not enter the mental health system, it is much too dangerous), that person will likely be torn to pieces. Even if they deliver that message with sensitivity.
