I have noticed a rise in altnernative medicine in psychiatric care in the past few years; by that i mean non-mainstream, spiritual, holistic, herbal, yoga, vitamin, and mineral therapies for serious mental disorders.
I would not be so concerned if I found this in private company products, but in my reading i find that it is beginning to be studied and practiced in hospitals.
I am very concerned about this trend, and it has made me insecure about mental health treatment in general.
Am I being paranoid? Do I have good reason to fear that we are entering the dark ages in the treatment of mental illness?
What can I do to make sure that I personally have a choice in treatments? I do not wish to deprive anyone of their freedom to choose, but I don't think this is for me.
Thanks
