CC, "therapy" means something in the orthopaedic world too, and the analogy is pretty close.

Some people do need orthopaedic surgery. Some people do need psychiatric meds. (At this point I believe I'm one of them.)

Many people need physical therapy but either they or their doctor doesn't want to do the work, so they get surgery instead. Many people need talk therapy but either they or their doctor doesn't want to do the work (or their insurance will cover drugs but not therapy), so they get meds instead.

Just as physical therapy rearranges the physical structures of the bones and soft tissues, talk therapy rearranges the physical structures of the brain. (Yes, it's been proved.)
