A somewhat inadequate reference, but the principal apply IMO.

Good Man Livi..If a person woke up every mornining with abdominal pain and STARTED taking pain medication to alleviate the symptoms and ignored going to the MD to find out what the cause of the pain was, wouldn't you consider that person to be foolish? The MD would probably schedule some tests which could save that persons life.
Second consider that U have a Flu Virus if U ride it out you immune system will eventually overcome it, and the next time your body is confronted with that same virus your immune system will know how to fight it. (this analogy maynot be the best...but it has to do with the growth of an indivdual and capacity to handle the ups and downs of life).
One further....consider ones emotions to be like a radio wave, by taking medication one is cutting off both the tops and bottoms of the wave..the peaks and valleys as it were. Life does have its peaks and valleys..the valley maybe the death of a loved one and by not experiencing the valley one may never come to resolution of that valley.
