Dr. Hsiung,
Is the use of exorcism considered to be a valid tratment in psychiatry? When I wrote in the previous post,[...could not all possibilities be suggested?...], I meant that since one suggested exorcism, then in this discussion, my suggestion could also be included in the discussion.
Allow me to clarify this. First, I do not think that exorcism is consideed to be an valid treatment by psychiatry because I have read that psychiatry does not endorse it. There are possible treatments for what the poster describes by the medical profession. I am not telling others to not look into possibilities that are {proven to be acceptable}. A psychiatrist can make a determination if discontinuing a drug, and perhaps replacing a drug with another drug is a possible treatment. All possibilities thearfore mean all {acceptable} possibilities and one poster wrote that he did not believe in exorcism. But there are posters here that have written that they do believe in considering exorcism. Now if the belief in exorcism, which I understand is not endorsed by psychiatry, can be posted here, then could not I ask if it is acceptable to consider that the discontinuation of a drug could be a consideration to be included in the discussion?
