Xynesthesia, I wonder if your definition of treatment is tied up with the "resolution" of a condition, and since therapy isn't a cure for anything, you therefore don't see it as a legitimate treatment, like medical treatments sometimes are. I'm just wondering about that based on what you've said. For me, I consider therapy a treatment because it is something I engage in with the goal of ameliorating some of the symptoms of my mental illnesses. To me, that makes it a treatment. Also notable to me is the fact that my insurance pays for a large portion of my therapy. My insurance only pays for medically necessary treatment, so that's another reason I categorize therapy as treatment.
