60 Minutes Story on Depression Begs Alternative Solutions
CBS-TV reporter Leslie Stahl’s story on “60 Minutes” about the questionable effectiveness of anti-depressant medications has raised many questions among people with mild to moderate depression.
My own story on alternatives to antidepressants for HairLoss.com points the way to alternative methods for managing mild to moderate depression. In brief, those approaches include talking therapy, physical exercise, socialization, herbs, environment and possibly homeopathy.
As experts interviewed for the 60 Minutes story explained, these alternative approaches, as well as drug placebos, can be just as effective without the many side effects of prescription medications – and often, much less expensive.
