Dr Amen uses natural treatments first for anxiety, depression
Stress Anxiety Reliefs
Psychiatrist Daniel Amen, MD notes… “I use medication in my practice, but it’s not the first thing that I use. “I always think about the least toxic, most effective treatment. “And often, with anxiety, ADD, depression, social anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder [ I treat them ] with behavior techniques, and natural supplements, people can get significantly better. “So in my mind, I think, why not at least try that first? “If that doesn’t work, we have the medications that we can use.”

Carol,
I agree.
We need more doctors to use this approach — first try natural treatments, and only use drugs if the supplements don’t work.
I will also post a great quote from Linus Pauling, PhD, a chemist who won the Nobel Prize in chemistry, talking about using drugs to treat diseases versus using substances naturally present in the body.
His prediction is thought-provoking.
