LOL! Yes, it's true, though for millenia people have been doing quite well without psychoanalyzing and using 'modern' day medicinals , which, they even admit to, not knowing quite what they're doing.... There are certain conditions that will be best dealt with by a health professional.....BUT, have you noticed that the majority of these anti-depressants, etc. have horrendous side-effects? AND that they're now saying that young people shouldn't be put on these medications as it does more harm than good. An herbal decoction is FAR less potent than the pharmaceuticals that so-called psyche doctors hand out to their patients....which are yanked off of those and next week given something else.... I've had my share of psych-crap ladled into me to cure my 'clinical depression'.....Horsesh*t! No more! Remeron was the last crap that they tried to give me....a synthetic nasty piece of work. I took one (1) minimal dose and 'woke up' 2 days later, remembering little save that I ate an entire weeks worth of food, passed out into my soup and couldn't drive myself home from work....AFTER I had driven there! And this was 24 hrs AFTER I took the damned drug! No.....save me from all the psyche medicines (and 98% of the other meds) to when they actually understand just how they work! It's criminal to feed this crap to kids. I'm ADHD and I grew up without Ritalin blazing across my neural pathways. It's like taking drugs for having brown hair forchrissakes! (PS I'm schololed in Pharmacy and pre-med) What Soror says has wisdom, but don't go off because Jimmy is having fits about Sally telling him to shove off!....you get my drift. There are people that need serious counseling and doctors...and there are some that need to just calm down. What I gave you for herbs will not react badly in the body...but always remain vigilant (quietly) for allergic reactions (heavy sweating, intense itching, hard time breathing, hives, etc.) If those things happen discontinue the draught and contact the physician! Enough hand-holding! Use common sense!
