Why Alternatives are Needed. 

Alternatives are needed because while medications certainly have their role they also have their short comings. They are expensive, require a diagnosis and come with a slew of side effects. It has also been well established that in mild to moderate depression, medication is no more effective then placebo. To better understand mood disorders and provide a more effective treatment, it is beneficial to look at underlying etiologies, risk factors and genetics.
