Meditation and exercise and behavioral therapy are all good things but it depends on severity of people’s conditions and exact diagnosis, preferably confirmed by several professionals over the years.

Many people are misdiagnosed.

If you can manage with just those thing and without meds then it’s ideal. But it’s not always enough especially if it means person can’t maintain jobs and can’t properly function, then they need meds. It’s like any physical condition. I have some stomach problems that could be managed by a diet and no meds needed and there are people who can’t function it if they don’t take medication and there are people who might die if they don’t take meds. It’s not all size fits all.
