After his own experience of schizophrenia, Daniel Fisher became a psychiatrist to humanize the mental health system and help others find their voice and recover.
Psychiatry seems to be caught up in the same sort of system as the rest of the medical industry. "We have our protocols, and we don't stray from those." In history, it seem it is always those who think outside the box who make the greatest strides, no matter what the arena.
I would wonder too, if alternative treatments like sound & music therapy, reiki, diet, etc. would have an effect as adjunct therapy. Years ago I worked with a dog who had a very severe behavior problem and used Reiki on him. Other than his owners, I was the only one he would allow around him without having a fit and biting them if they came into the house.
