I love the idea of this forum, I have often searched the web for something like this, where people can discuss nutrition and natural medicine. It seems that the standard psychological approach is common among many people still, but I think the tides are turning and the natural medicine revolution is going strong.

You are so right Dave. The main problem with the "psychological" approach to the treatment of mental illness is that it is assumes that past experiences (childhood or otherwise), or wrong and illogical mental attitudes are causes of the illness thereby reinforcing "blame the victim" belief about mood disorders. If this were in fact true then of course we need to ask, why resort to drugs to fix the problem. The two models, are in conflict with one another - the one saying it is "psychological and the other saying is is physical.
