20. There are far more
reasons than you give here. And to presume that you know the status of anyone's need or lack thereof to deal with their illnesses, especially mental incapacities, is massive hubris on your part, unless you are a clinical psychiatrist or psychologist.

Every individual is different, and their needs must be evaluated by the proper medical experts. If I let myself just try to manage my clinical depression on nothing more than "exercise and organization," there is a good chance I would be dead right now. Same as if I decided to ignore the chest pains I had before my second heart attack, I don't think exercise and organization would have provided the necessary remedies to stop that heart attack from happening.

Unless you have credentials, do not presume to determine any one else's need of medicines or other such necessities for their medical conditions.
