I have heard that they have proven that good talk therapy is more effective than psychiatric medications in treating patients. They say that it 1) helps the body produce the lacking enzymes 2) makes relapse less likely due to the formation of new coping mechanisms 3) makes the patient feel "better" because he/she has "gotten it off his/her chest" and has seen that they are not dependant on medication to make themselves functioning adults, and can do it with just a little help.
Do you know where to find research to back this up, or do you have any thoughts on the matter?
