A member asked:

What are some different approaches to curing neuropsychiatric diseases in general, and for my friend who's super depressed, and therapy isn't helping?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Antidepressants: Antidepressant medication is a very safe way to effectively treat depression. I would strongly encourage your friend to see a doctor about it. Depression is a chemical imbalance in the brain, that can be easily corrected.
