I think lifestyle medicine, eg self care and being vigilant about changing your life when necessary to improve ones mental health is vastly important. This is especially important coming from a psychiatrist. Meds are not the magic bullet that can magically transform us if we dont take care of ourselves and make the hard decisions.
Thank you turtle, thats just what we needed to know if we should look for the book.
