> James is right: mental illness is a medical problem. But medical doesn't just mean pills; medicine means treatment. I think it would be good for this board if we broadened the base a little bit. FP is right: there really are other treatments and if they work, they work. We ought to be more open-minded here.
James here...
You mis understood me. Mental illness is many times a medical problem (biological, neurological, biochemical) so it needs a medical (medication to regulate) treatment. If you don't treat the underlying medical problem with meds it is of no good to try other treatments
