To address the question in your first paragraph, I think it's due to whether you think your locus of control is internal or external.



You can have an internal locus of control and still believe the benefits of taking something like an SSRI far outweigh the costs of attempting to address depression/anxiety more "naturally." I'd rather take an SSRI if it means more motivation to live healthily, positively, productively for myself and family. If anything, the drug could very well help someone discover their sense of agency.
