Therapy saved my life. Without therapy i would still take very heavy medication, because the meds are just for stabilizing the situation; now, many years later, i am down to 2 meds with smaller dosage (a mood stabilizer and an anxietolytic) after starting with 5 meds (2 SSRI's, neuroleptics and the beforementioned 2), high dosage and being dead inside.
That makes a large difference in life quality, and it's worth the work.
