My psych said this to me......
'When I was a med student, they told me that this was the gold standard. When I was a registrar I prescribed it. Later I taught med students the same thing. And you know what? I never saw anyone improved by it. They stopped complaining though.'
IMO, when you get to that stage, the industry no longer treats you as if you are fully human.
No double blind clinical trials here.
