What to do if i have mental illness, natural therapy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mental Illness: If you think you have mental illness, the first thing to do is see a competent psychiatrist for full evaluation. You may also need general medical labs and other diagnostic tests. Then you'll know what you're dealing with, and whether it's safe to try natural therapies. Natural therapies would not be first-line in psychoses or imminent suicidal feelings, but might be tried in less severe issues.
