It's not incredibly common, but many mental and neurological illnesses can be beaten with the right holistic approach. Besides, most people use herbs that are well-known, but quite simply aren't very strong. There are much stronger ones available:
for anxiety/sedation--California poppy, ashwagandha, reishi, blue lotus, skullcap, damiana, thyme, lettuce opium
for depression--blue lotus, betel nut, calamus, muira puama, sassafras, rosemary
for ADHD--betel nut, galangal, kola nut, muira puama, all the anxiety/sedation herbs
for Parkinson's disease--muira puama
for Alzheimer's--huperzine A (club moss extract)
And that's just the very tip of the iceberg... I've personally seen people have great results with all of these.
Also, it's important to keep in mind that, for example, just because one person with panic disorder responds well to niacinamide, fish oil, kava, or what-have-you, it doesn't mean another person will. Just my 2¢. :-)
