The psychiatrist , Thomas Szasz unenthusiastic about the term “mental illness” preferred a different term: problems in living. The problem is maybe not all talk therapy helps. The collaborative problem solving model although originally designed for challenging kids and teenagers focuses on finding solutions to very specific problems which need to be defined and put into a real life context. Medication does not teach life skills or find solutions to problems . It may help people cope or learn these skills.
