Hi Anna,
I can definitely relate to the frustrations with meds. Meds aren't a good thing for everyone. I'm glad you're taking the initiative for your own treatment. Most people know themselves pretty well.
BTW I don't agree that alternative treatments "should" be tried before other approaches, I think people's symptoms are too complex for that. (I wouldn't tell someone who's having a panic attack to just take some Kava and go for a walk.) I hope that as a mental health advocate, you don't dissuade patients from seeking pharmacological treatment when such methods could be beneficial.
