“I am curious what folks in the coffee room have to say about therapy (any kind, like CBT or psychodynamic), and medications (SSRIs, MAOs, Tricyclics…).”

Therapy and psychoactive medications have allowed many to live normal lives who had not been able to beforehand. I can’t see why this would be a problem for any frum Jew, or for anyone else. Be careful as there is a non-Jewish religious cult called Scientology that has been campaigning against therapy and medications for a long time and has poisoned the minds of many.
