Unless you are overtly schizophrenic or severely bipolar (the latter of which is way over diagnosed), what you describe is the real treatment for most mental health issues. Well that and working on coping strategies for aberrant thoughts.
Sometimes those diagnoses are bunk for sure. Sometimes the mentally unstable get it into their head and behave in a way that gets them diagnosed as it because they aren't aware that there is a different root problem.
Mental health is a minefield. Mental health problems with over medication makes it a mass shooting.
Medication should definitely be the nuclear option, not the first.
