Improvement of quality of life is the goal and all tools are on the table - ALL TOOLS (key point). The dismay is that most psychiatrists do not do that, generally speaking. They use only finite limited tools. And the result is a lot of treatment resistant patients - who are not actually treatment resistant - who are merely receiving the wrong treatment, missing the target or hitting it only around the edges.
My only dismay is with the vast majority of psychiatrists who accidentally or purposely IGNORE all the rest of the story, the story this particular psychiatrist shared in his article. How the spectacularly fail at connecting disease in the body to mood.
I also have dismay that some readers of the article will totally miss the actual over-riding message of it.
In other words, the author makes it very clear - ABX cleared up his near-psychiatric symptoms. The conventional treatments did not.
