Thank-you for this letter to the editor.  If possible, please read Nutrient Power by William Walsh, PhD at http://www.walshinstitute.org.  There is effective non-pharmaceutical help for mental challenges or problems such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar, alzheimers, and schizophrenia.  Mensah Medical at http://mensahmedical.com has an 85% effectiveness rate for curing the above challenges without using pharmaceutical drugs.  Toxins, lack of nutrients, and nutrient imbalances cause mental illness, but we are screened or treated for these before we are prescribed drugs, shock treatments, and other symptomatic, palliative treatments.  The physicians at Mensah say that the effectiveness rate for curing these mental issues would even be higher if patients fully complied with their treatment plans.
