One Explnation For The Low Success Rate Of ADs

Posted by bulldog2 on September 28, 2010, at 15:50:28

One p-doc(Daniel Amen)wrote an article in the Life Extension magazine where he claims to have identified six types of depression and anxiety. Each has its own needs for drugs and or supplements to treat it. This could explain the low rate of success with ad drugs. Currently we have a one size fits all mentally with ads. For example handing out ssris as the fix for depression. He advocates specialized mris and or catscans to identify the type of mental disease we are dealing with. At this point we can pick the correct drug to treat the type mental illness we are dealing with.

We currently do not have docs with the right tools to diagnose what they are presented with. Without an accurate diagnosis how can we accurately treat. I think once these docs have the tools to accurately diagnose you will see a better success rate.

I'm not saying the drugs we have are good but better use could be made of them. Perhaps better diagnosis will lead to the development of better drugs.
