> Psychotherapy persuades people to accept an inferior state of living; to accept that you are doomed to a joyless life of melancholia & missed experiences.

I wholeheartedly disagree (respectfully, of course) with this statement.

I think psychotherapy liberates people from this sense of doom, helps them see options and possibilities.

If you had an experience of psychotherapy that attempted to persuade you to accept an inferior state of living, it was not a good psychotherapy experience, and hopefully not typical.

I think dividing the brain and body isn't as clear cut as saying that it is chemical for some and psychological for others. It is a complex interaction for all of us. We can choose to intervene at one or more points of this complex system, and there is no one way to intervene.
