No, I get it. It's one of the reasons I find ADs so problematic. I haven't had any luck with them and I'm wary of them for a lot of reasons. I think they're worth a shot on some level and there are studies but I do find our science with regards to them very questionable on many levels. My issue with alt med is that there is relatively little in terms of rigorous testing. So while psychiatric meds have a lot to be desired, I find things like essential oils even moreso.

And again - I'm not a scientist and this isn't my area of expertise. If it helps, then I would say do it. I have no problem with that. I have to be honest that I have a heavy bias against it because of family history and so that probably makes it more difficult for me to find value in it.
