I am currently on meds but have been on and off them, I now only get them when I feel the need.
I can't talk for other people and have never studies the subject but for me I first when on them when I had no alternative and really needed them to save me, being on them allowed me to sort my life out but I also received psychotherapy to help me find the cause of the problem. For me the cause is partly genetic and partly life induced so it will always be with me.
I have also tried some sorts of alternative therapies, meditation and massage have both helped to some degree.

For me it depends on how bad I am whether I need the meds or not, I now take a lower dosage than I have in the past and I think part of this is that I now recognise that I am ill, I can admit it and help myself to do something about some of the symptoms without the need for meds.
