Mental Health Information

I actually did read it and found it very digestible.

I may have reacted strongly based on my review of the author of this piece. He appears to be a zealot and I can find very little reasonable about him. Even when he links to this review of treatment resistant depression, he gets it from a site called "toxic psychiatry".

Even when considering theoretical methods, the degree of bias on the part of the person posting this article makes me very suspicious of anything he might advocate. He is clearly no kind of scientist, whatever approach you wish to take.

I agree that there is a lack of understanding that impacts therapy. Although the advances have been great, the understanding remains rudimentary. That is not only true for depression but all of the major psychiatric illnesses.

Those on the front lines are doing what they can with what they have. It's a desperate situation with a limited number of tools.

I put this guy in the same category as Szasz and condemn his hostility towards those who are working hard to help others.
