I wouldn't say many pdocs are turning away from medication. Of course, many have a lot of patients who are not satisfied with the results. The amount of psychotherapy on offer is normally minimal. Pdocs have far too many patients for that to be possible, and many are probably no longer used to doing much therapy.
Few supplements are prescribed by psychiatrists. A few use recommend omega-3 fish oils to be taken alongside meds for depression and schizophrenia.
