They want to believe that there\u2019s a \u2018natural\u2019 way to fix this problem. If you had a problem like a broken foot, you wouldn\u2019t expect an herb to fix it. People think a natural remedy will work for mental illness because it\u2019s \u2018just their emotions,\u2019 but it\u2019s biological; it\u2019s in your brain. The brain is an organ just like any other. The brain is a very fancy organ and does a lot of things, but just like your lungs or pancreas can get sick, your brain can get sick.\u201d&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The article is about women, obviously, but I think this sort of &#8220;logic&#8221; is something many people are falling prey to. The idea that they can simply eat or meditate their way to good mental health. I&#8217;m not saying that eating healthy, and other practices shouldn&#8217;t be part of taking care of yourself, physically and emotionally, but when you are talking about something like severe depression, and other mental health issues, those things need to be part of an overall health plan that also includes medically proven treatments, which can be therapy and medication. In the end, not everyone is the same, and there is no one &#8220;natural&#8221; remedy that is going to solve the mental health crisis. We need to consider all of the possibilities.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re losing too many people to suicide, and may of those losses could be avoided if we treated mental illness like an illness, instead of a character flaw.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.refinery29.com\/2016\/07\/117179\/suicide-rates-rising-young-women\">http:\/\/www.refinery29.com\/2016\/07\/117179\/suicide-rates-rising-young-women<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"syndication-links\"><\/div><span class=\"kt-load-after-post\"><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;In these days of \u201cclean eating\u201d and \u201call natural\u201d everything, there\u2019s also a growing resistance among women to being \u201cmedicated\u201d in general. \u201cI hear from a lot of people who don\u2019t want to medicate themselves for their mental health issues,\u201d says Natasha Tracy, 38, a mental health speaker and writer who has been dealing with&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"mf2_syndication":[],"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"webmentions_disabled_pings":false,"webmentions_disabled":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[25,16,49,17,34],"class_list":["post-4498","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-links","tag-bipolar","tag-depression","tag-medication","tag-mentalhealth","tag-therapy"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
