MODERN MEDICATIONS, AND OTHER TECHNIQUES FOR TREATING MENTAL HEALTH CONDITIONS, ARE LIFE-SAVING FOR THE MOST SEVERE AND DISABLING CASES. THESE SAME MEDICATIONS ARE TOO LIMITED IN THEIR BENEFITS WHEN IT COMES TO THEIR ABILITY TO HELP, IF NOT COMBINED WITH A HOLISTIC APPROACH (exercise, diet, sleep, friendships, family, hope, goals, spirituality, relief from addictions, microbiome, epigenetics) IN ORDER TO RELIEVE ONE’S SUFFERING.
