> Just in my personal experience, Western medicine/psychiatry is far more effective at treating major depression than is TCM. I am under the impression that has been the experience in China, as well. However, I think that TCM potentially has promise in treating the side effects of psychotropic meds, much as it has been used to alleviate the side effects of chemo. I wonder if any work has been done in China on the use of TCM to treat, e.g., SSRI side effects?

Or what about using TCM and other herbs/supplements as adjuncts to psychiatric medications to enhance and further antidepressant therapy? I'm thinking of fish oil, schisandra, cordyceps, holy basil and TCM herbal remedies.
