Liz, if you knew more about what Philly has been dealing with and David's actions you wouldn't be so quick to rule out meds. I'm with you on the fact that they are over prescribed and shoved on cancer patients...I walked out on a Dr. that was hell bent in telling me I was depressed and wanted to give me meds. I switched to another dr because I don't need nor want to be on those things.

However you have a person like David, who quit treatment and has been letting fear and anxiety rule his life. He quit and gave up on his young wife and 4 children. I believe he needs assistance and if you knew more about it, you would too. Believe it or not, they help in some situations.
