There’s no interaction and the reliance is upon chemicals not emotional healing. Meds can complement and enhance therapy. I’m not convinced they alone promote full healing.

Pharma runs the world. Legal drugs pushed out by these big guys. They give doctors "extras" to sell their meds, making the doctors not offer the best solution to their patients. Good luck finding a doctor who doesn't get these benefits.. Richard is so right. Pharma runs the world. Legal drugs pushed out by these big guys.
