Mental Health Herbalistic vs Synthetic, what’s best for your mind?

[Markomarkh]

hi,

It seems most medication is probably synthetic these days from the UK NHS as it’s cheaper to make and is more tested but if a herbalist knows what they are doing it can better to go natural can’t it? I’ve found pharma drugs a bit naff and not always that affective and can be bad for you if your doctor gets it wrong... what you think?

I swear by lamictal. And if I miss two days doses I get suicidal. I haven't given herbal remedies an honest shot, but I've been pretty stable for two years and it's amazing to me.
