Description

Today I will be finishing up the complementary treatments for depression. I'll briefly cover three more treatments that have some evidence and no risk for effect: n-acetylcysteine, creatinine, and aromatherapy. Then I'll mention a number of treatments that as far as I can tell have no evidence that they work better than placebo, some of which could be harmful. Then I'll do a wrap-up of complementary treatments and discuss how these can be useful for your practice and why you shouldn't just write them off as nonsense or less effective. It went a little longer than I was hoping for but I think you will enjoy this finish to our complementary and alternative medicine series.
