Personally, I am of the opinion that we may have a tendency to medicate the ‘cure’, when it comes to non normative mental experiences.

My personal research, soon to be released, suggests that many mental experiences are signs of a natural self healing process, that may ensure a natural integration of various lived, or inherited, overwhelming experiences. In other words; Medication may be suppressing the natural healing process, rather than curing the cause.

There is little doubt, other than medication may offer an opportunity for an organism to start healing, however is medication too often used as the first and only option?

Manhattan based psychiatrist Kelly Brogan, MD offers an informative, non normative view in her article below.
