Pretty much what I would expect a practitioner to say, especially one who is a quack.
Most depression is not cured by talk-therapy, all propaganda by quacks to the contrary not withstanding. The onset of most affective disorder is spontaneous and it typically lifts spontaneously as well, usually after a few months, sometimes after years. "Talking" to people about brain chemistry problems doesn't cure them. The best non-drug treatment isn't counseling, it's exercise. But of course, there's no money for talk therapists in doing that.

No need to get snippy about it, you may note I only said chemicals don't cure depression. I did not recommend "Talk Therapy", you brought it up. I don't care, if exercise works, that's great. Maybe a religious epiphany will do it for some. I only know that loading people up with psychoactive chemicals is setting them up to experience a dangerous crash when they feel good enough and quit their meds abruptly and go totally bonkers.
You are absolutely right about the link between talk therapy and money, the process is "open ended" and will find a rapid conclusion only when the cash runs out...
