Alternative perspectives on perceptions and treatment of mental "illness"

One in five Americans takes at least one psychiatric medication, and Big Pharma is raking in billions. But is mental health only a matter of balancing neurotransmitter chemicals? What about dealing with inflammation, medication side effects and nutrient deficits?  What about trauma? poverty? homelessness? Or the normal bummers of life? Jon Keyes of HearthSide Healing has been part of a dramatic change in the perception and treatment of mental illness amongst holistic and integrative practitioners. Jon will be on the Recovery Zone with Sarah Smith of Rethinking Psychiatry, and Marcia Meyers (formerly with Rethinking Psychiatry). Hosted by Stephanie Potter.  Join the discussion: 503-231-8187.
