Someone pointed out to me if you had diabetes, you wouldn’t say “I’m not taking my insulin, that’s just a crutch, it’s all in my head!“

Likewise: If you don’t make your own neurotransmitters, storebought is fine.

Get help, tune your meds (it’s an art, not a science), don’t fall for the “feeling better, can stop now” trap, but realize it’s not you, it’s a medical problem, learn to relax and deal with today’s crises today.
