My PDoc,, has expressed a combination of therapy with meds is most effective for treatments.

And I agree.

So, I agree, pills alone need not be the answer. Someone mentioned insurance, as hindrance to therapy?
I've also read somewhere, that gp's are doling out meds, meds that really need a pdoc. Could be the social structure of it all?

Personally, I don't feel meds are a panacea. If therapy isn't an option, self help, holistic practices are options.

Thought provoking thread.
