Excellent article. My personal experience with Big Pharma came with being medicated for ADD, rather than anxiety or depression (although I lived with depression and suicidal ideation and impulses for nearly 30 years, that is another story). The medication produced suicidal thoughts and plans without the depression that usually accompanies such symptoms. It wasn’t until I Googled the medication that I realized such thoughts were a possible side effect. Took me 6 months to be weaned off that poison. I share this because too many of our children are being treated with pharmaceuticals that can actually do more harm than good. Observe your children closely if they are being given any of the common medications for treatment of ADD and ADHD. Also please consider Transcendental Meditation as a non-invasive alternative remedy. It isn’t a magic bullet that acts instantly, but the effects are long term and positively impact more than just the original disorders, and are backed up by research

I concur with Dr. Kuni Frith wholeheartedly. This is a challenging condition for all concerned. Anxiety and depression warrants a holistic approach which includes viewing the patient with dignity and compassion. It is time that alternative approaches to dealing with these debilitating conditions be embraced, included and regarded as viable options to those dealing with these health challenges.
This is an excellent article!

Thank you, thank you, thank you! You have done a wonderful thing writing this. While researching anxiety due to a family member suffering greatly with it, I noticed that almost every article stated that medication is not a long term solution and certainly addictive medications should not be given as a long term solution. Yet here in Bermuda this seems to be the go to for doctors because they have nothing else to offer.
