> Absolutely! Changing your thinking can help! I'm all for medication, western, eastern and alternative. But I have seen "schizophrenic" patients improve dramatically with cognitive therapy. Years ago I took one of my parents to a self-help non profit cognitive therapy group. These people were labeled as "nervous and former mental patients". Back in the pre-SSRI/AP years there were several delusional and psychotic patients in the group that were able to reduce their medication or stop completely. Some of these people were in really rough shape, others seemed completely stable. I found it very helpful for my OCD and depression. Sadly, this international group seems to be fading away now with improved meds and information. I wish there were a group near me.

> Hi there, was browsing nutritional info and saw this post. I would like to add my support for this group. I saw first hand the incredibly positive effect it had my mother, and by reading her books, it has been able to help me too. I really wish there were more meetings, the closest one in my area is about an hour away, and I just haven't been able to make that time commitment even though I know it will help.
