From reading here at babble, Britain does seem quite behind, with lots of psychiatrists and other mental health professionals trained in Freudian psychodynamic approaches, and medications generally prescribed very conservatively (like no polypharm or off-label use), and with the way medical coverage works--making it hard to have treatment beyond a couple of sessions. That is what I learned from some of the British posters here.
I don't have a sense of the European continent, tho. I have read that they have Light spas in scandinavian countries for SAD. and at times we learn about some medication in use in Europe but not approved here, etc. But other than that, I haven't heard anything.
