Honestly, you've got to consider the root of the person's problem before saying whether medication works or not.

Some people are depressed because of things in life, traumatic incidents, puberty, and various other things. Those would be easier to solve with therapy instead of medication, I'd agree.

However, there are people who have Depression because of nothing more than a chemical imbalance in their minds. When you think about it, if somebody is depressed because of chemicals, NOT because of their feelings, emotions, life, etc., then therapy would probably be nothing more than helping them cope with feeling down. And well, coping isn't solving the problem. Chemical imbalances are like a disease, that needs medication.

Lets put it this way. Would you make somebody who had a physical illness, even something as simple as Acid Reflux, not take their medications because "they don't work"? No, right? Because it works for their physical ailment. And a chemical imbalance in the brain isn't really much different.
