However, I have to object you putting "counseling" in the "alternative therapies" list since it is of equal prominence and scientific validation to much of traditional psychiatry, and has been a core component of psychiatric treatment since it's inception. "Alternative treatments" implies a less scientifically based form of treatment. Great post!

However, I think the use of psychiatric medications many times is given a bad wrap. I believe strongly a combination of meds can be extremely helpful in difficult cases. The problem lies in the fact that finding the correct doses requires strict supervision. Supervision which could require weekly outpatient evaluation & in some cases an extended hospital admission. These serious mental illnesses require psychotherapy & psychiatric medicine management. My family member is progressing in the right direction. It has taken years of creative pharmacological treatment to help her progress. Mental illness is real illness; illness that warrants the same degree of treatment that heart or cancer patients require. I salute the 8.5 million Federal employees & their dependents who have full mental health insurance parity in their group insurance program ordered by the executive order of President William Clinton. I strongly believe you'll find even more people progressing with serious mental illness when THEIR private health insurance permits & pays for first-rate mental illness care at the same benefit level as any other serious illness. We don't walk away from seriously ill cancer or heart patients. Let's refuse to accept second-rate mental health insurance coverage in the private sector. .
