are more psychiatrists becoming holistic ?

[annm4peace]

my cousin has been Effexor for 10 years and got off with a regular Dr's help.
it was ok until 2 month ago ahd she had been off it 2 months and the got hit with anxiety and depression.

She found a psychiatrist/psychologist. He thinks she should read a book "Unstuck" and do meditation, exercise and talk therapy instead of going back on the drugs.

It has only been a couple weeks but I'm worried about her.. she is so anxiety and depressed but she can still manage to go to work.

She is doing the guided meditation on CD.. from some book and CD a friend told her about. MIndful Meditation out of Depression.

Anyone every get off Effexor and used Medtation instead ?
