We definitely shouldn't take away talk therapy. Depression might end up being almost totally physical in nature, but just living with it changes a person, even after they have 'beaten' it.

The biggest thing that I've learned from medical anthropology is that proper healing, real, effective medicine and medical professionals, treat both body and mind. Each affects the other, and to say otherwise is unscientific.

I'm for holistic medicine personally. Holistic meaning all-encompassing. Hard data, and empathy combined.
