We're treating psychological problem like pathological ones. Mental health is not a pathological problem necessarily, but rather an physiological responsive one. As such giving medications as to "treat mental health" is the wrong perspective, and more proper perspective would one were certain physiological responses to certain environmental conditions are deemed as negative. As such to an extent the physiological responses and the interpretation of whether those responses are good or bad are dependent on social perspectives.

Therapy can work entirely without medication.

There's a difference between psychologists and psychiatrists, and the article even spells it out.

Therapy works on the physiological aspects of the human by influencing the environment. Again it's not pathological.
