Holistic Mental Health is a concise guide that will answer all your questions on the current treatment options for mental health issues. It compares traditional western medicine to alternative or holistic therapies answering the question which treatment is more effective. Too often the public is misled with partial information and inaccurate statements from the media and pharmaceutical company influenced physicians on treatment alternatives using anything other than prescription medications to treat mental illness.
