I should add, in reference to this comment:
Countless studies have shown that medication is much much more effective than any form of behavioural therapy (and that BT has an extremely high failure/"relapse" rate).
Yes I can accept that. Behavioural therapies tend to be formalised ways of telling patients to "just try harder". They fail because the real issue is below the conscious mind (where "trying harder" works), in the subconscious mind and in the physiology (organ function, gene expression).
My personal experience is that there is a highly effective approach to treatment that works both on a physiological (all the way down to gene expression) level and a subconscious emotional level.
It may not be widely known or adopted yet, but it is attracting growing interest among ordinary people looking for better answers, if not mainstream science researchers, yet (due, I think, to the perverse economic incentives that prevail in that field, and the professional disincentives to pursue unconventional theories).
But from what I can see, it's just a matter of time.
